How would you mark a flag in your json settings file as deprecated?
In my opinion, the settings file isn’t where this information should be presented. I would put these notes in the release log and readme and example settings file. I have also written this information to logging during startup so a user knows what to do, or I write a migration that does the change automatically if that’s possible.
This is only my opinion and you can use the comment method described like
“//“: “Deprecated”
if desired.
