ok, I will do a simple workaround for this (use an additional parameter that I can update using parameter_override and then check if it exists and update the configuration in python myself)

Yep sounds good, something like this?
from clearml.utilities.dicts import ReadOnlyDict, merge_dicts overrides = {} task.connect(overrides) configuration = {#stuff here} task.connect_configuration(configuration) merge_dicts configuration.update(overrides)BTW: this will allow you to override any specific configuration (even nested) with "General/key/sub"
(do notice that casting might be tricky, assume you will get everything in String)
