2025.Q3 Default Setting and Feature Flag Changes

Most new versions of Liferay DXP include changes to the default settings. If you rely on the defaults from your old version, review the changes and decide to accept the new defaults or keep the defaults from your old version. The portal.properties file describes the properties and provides examples.

Some of the changed properties are feature flags. These properties are typically added as dev feature flags before they are ready for production, but their types change as the features progress through their life cycles.

Here are the property changes from 2025.Q2 to 2025.Q3:
