CooperativeFox72 a bit of info on how it works:
In "manual" execution (i.e. without an agent)

path = task.connect_configuration(local_path, name=name

path = local_path , and the content of local_path is stored on the Task

In "remote" execution (i.e. agent)

path = task.connect_configuration(local_path, name=name

"local_path" is ignored, path is a temp file, and the content of the temp file is the content that is stored (or edited) on the Task configuration.
Make sense ?
