Cisco provisioning not resetting deleted settings

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Add 3+ expansion lines to the device
2. provision device
3. remove one or two expansion lines *using the X delete buton"
4. resync the provision (not reset)

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
the phone should remove the settings for the deleted expansion line, instead it 
just leaves the settings. not sure if this is a fusion or cisco issue, but have 
not seen this happen with other provisioning system. Perhaps in the provision 
file you need to set a blank line instead of deleting it completely.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Version:    3.6.3
Operating System:   Linux server 2.6.32-431.29.2.el6.i686 #1 SMP Tue Sep 9

I believe this is a feature of cisco and allows different config files to be 
merged.

The valuse already on the device remain unless you explicitly overwrite them.

I agree, but I think that fusionpbx's provisioning, if you delete a config in 
the GUI should explicitly overwrite them then.

This could go either way actually there is benefit to having a comprehensive 
template as well as a concise template that only edits necessities. The smaller 
template allows you to do custom settings with the phone gui. The way you are 
proposing with a comprehensive template is best if you never touch the gui.

I talked with one company that said they had a comprehensive blank template 
just used to set the phone back to defaults. And then they use the smaller 
template that allows them to provide settings only for the things they need to 
change.

I wouldn't call this a defect its just provisioning it in a way different to 
what you want. But there is value to both ways.

Changing this to a feature request.
