>>> [!note] Migrated issue <!-- Drupal.org comment --> <!-- Migrated from issue #3562245. --> Reported by: [markconroy](https://www.drupal.org/user/336910) Related to !2 >>> <h3 id="summary-problem-motivation">Problem/Motivation</h3> <p>Sometimes we need to apply update hooks for theme settings, but we can't because themes do not have update hooks. </p> <p>If we had a "helper" module in the LocalGov Base repo, then we could run updates.</p> <p>E.G. We want to set the number of items in a Top Tasks list row for services pages to 4 by default. But we also need to run an update hook for existing sites to set it back to 3 - so we don't break existing sites.</p> <h3 id="summary-proposed-resolution">Proposed resolution</h3> <p>Add a submodule - localgov_base_helper - so it's available when we need it.</p>
