[Bug]: Talk/Spreed cannot be set as global defaultapp (also not on Theming UI) #52420
Description
⚠️ This issue respects the following points: ⚠️
- This is a bug, not a question or a configuration/webserver/proxy issue.
- This issue is not already reported on Github OR Nextcloud Community Forum (I've searched it).
- Nextcloud Server is up to date. See Maintenance and Release Schedule for supported versions.
- I agree to follow Nextcloud's Code of Conduct.
Bug description
On the latest Version of Nextcloud 31.0.4 (or maybe even since 31.0) the defaultapp cannot be set to talk/spreed.
This used to work for us by setting it to 'spreed' in config. Now it seems broken.
If it is set in config.php ( 'defaultapp' => 'spreed',) it has no effect and in the UI is shown "undefined" afterwards.
If trying to set it in the UI there is a red error message saying "Could not set global default apps".
All other apps can be set as global default.
Steps to reproduce
Try setting global defaultapp to talk/spreed via config or Theming UI
Expected behavior
Default App can be set to talk/spreed
