Update Last Seen via configuration.yaml

To work-around the bug, the setting can be updated via configuration.yaml:

advanced:
  log_level: info
  last_seen: ISO_8601_local

After updating configuration.yaml, I restarted zigbee2mqtt. The settings/advanced page showed the new setting.

Added I manually edited configuration.yaml on the Zigbee2mqtt server itself. The configuration.yaml file is stored in the data directory. On my RaspberryPi linux server (not using docker), it is in directory /opt/zigbee2mqtt/data

Thanks for the work-around @larrykluger ! The issue you have observed is present for the entire "Advanced" page on settings, per what I have noticed in the GH Issues. Let's hope for a fix.

Where have you managed to edit configuration.yaml ? In Settings > Addons > Z2M > Configuration > 3 dots on "Options" > Edit in YAML ?

[larrykluger]

I manually edited configuration.yaml on the Zigbee2mqtt server itself. The configuration.yaml file is stored in the data directory. On my RaspberryPi linux server (not using docker), it is in directory /opt/zigbee2mqtt/data

I don't have the Addons menus in my Settings page...

I determined the right capitalization and yaml setting name by spelunking the source. Let me know if there's a setting where you can't figure out the right yaml equivalent.

[tudorsmt]

I found it! In HAOS (Home Assistant OS) it's located at /homeassistant/zigbee2mqtt/configuration.yaml . I managed to edit it with the "File Editor" addon for Home Assistant.
