afaik that setting does not affect the attributes being saved. there was 
a patch in svn as proposed fix just in 3.2.2 - i've already removed that 
in icinga 1.3.x because it's annoying and buggy.

try the attached git diff as patch against 3.2.3 sources and verify the 
updates from the original configs being imported/updated into the 
database. there has been a discussion on various lists and forums about 
that, but since that ran as "feature fix" into the core, there might be 
a problem removing that in upstream of nagios.

kind regards,
michael
