Although, come to think of it, there is another variable at play here: the
farm_updatemodule will automatically revert “overridden” config when the cache gets cleared. So what I suggested wouldn’t work either.
We should probably open an issue about this, now that I think about it. The farm_plant_type module is the only place in farmOS core where we are providing core.entity_form_display.* and core.entity_view_display.* config - and this presents a real issue if anyone tries to alter those with the farm_update module installed. We might want to rethink how we’re handling the plant_type bundle specifically in that regard… otherwise it’s going to cause someone a bad time.
