Research direction
Start at contentctl/output/templates/savedsearches_detections.j2 line 82 and inspect how throttled detections are rendered into default/savedsearches.conf and local/savedsearches.conf. Compare the generated alert.suppress value with the Splunk ES GUI representation; done means contentctl preserves the GUI-compatible value without locking later DaC updates.
Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
Description
Describe the bug
When a detection which has throttling enabled, is edited with ES Content Management, the value for alert.suppress will be set to 1, instead to true which the jinja2 template sets here.
As a result, the parameter is set in local/savedsearches.conf which locks why further updates that might come through default/savedsearches.conf, using DaC methodology.
Expected behavior
contentctl should follow the "preferences" of whatever the Spunk GUI wants to set.
