I know nothing of webapp-config, but closing as a dup doesn't normally imply what you're trying to make it imply here. Closed/dup does NOT indicate anything in particular about the validity of the multi-reported "thing", except that it's multi-reported. It's up to whoever gets assigned the multi-reported "thing" as to how to resolve it, or even what that "thing" might be, bug, invalid/BEBKAC[1], bug in some other product, whatever. That's it. --- [1] BEBKAC: Variant of PEBKAC, problem exists between keyboard and chair, a somewhat snide way of saying it's the reporter themself with buggy logic.
