Modifying Hidden Basecamp Source Parameters

The Add Source and Source: ... General pages of the Administration Tool present the parameters with which you can configure the connector for most Basecamp setups. More advanced and more rarely used parameters are hidden. You can choose to make one or more of these parameters appear in the Add Source and Source: ... General pages of the Administration Tool so that you can change their default value. Consider changing values of hidden parameters when you encounter issues.

The following list describes the advanced hidden parameters available with Basecamp sources. The parameter type (integer, string, etc.) appears between parentheses following the parameter name.

ItemTypesToFold (String)

Semicolon-separated list of the types of item to fold under their parent. The default value is Attachment;Comment;Todo.

AlwaysFoldOnFirstAncestor (Boolean)

For items without an indexed parent, whether to allow folding them under their first indexed ancestor. The default value is False.
