There can be problems if you modify any portion of the key to an action or condition (ordinal value) and then execute 'load sys config'. The load process uses the instance key for merging and if you remove a key, the load process will add the values back. Good practice is to copy the built-in default policy to a new policy with a different name and then modify that policy. Attach the copied policy to the Virtual Server and not the built-in policy. The GUI provides a "Clone" button to help with this.
The configuration may not correctly load.
Editing a provided policy by the system.
Don't modify the default policies. Make copies and modify the copies.
The system now will correctly identify the changed configuration components during the modify operation on a built-in policy. The system will save and load correctly now after these modifications.
