So we were faced once again with code-signing/certificate/profile problems that afflict us all at arbitrary intervals.  Hunting through the build settings with colleagues, I discovered accidentally that there is an important GUI element missing from the build settings: disclosure triangles next to settings that have multiple levels buried beneath them.  For some reason, the Xcode team has decided that it's better to obscure important settings than fix the lack of a UI element that has been standard (with good reason) for decades.

They've officially blown this bug off as "behaves correctly": http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8112/8471406587_7b8650ce8e_b.jpg

Because it does behave correctly.

*Every* build setting can have a different value per configuration. 95% of the time they don't/won't so the triangles are hidden (except on hover) because it's pointless noise. If a build setting does have different values for different configurations it clearly says <Multiple Values>. Otherwise the setting applies to all configurations. It's pretty straightforward.
