--------------------------------------------------------------
My site uses a custom notification system (that eventually feeds into SMS). In order to pass extra data about events from zenoss to the notification system, we use a custom format string that sends a bunch more event fields. In Zenoss 3.x, I was able to do this in zendmd (or a custom ZCmd) by iterating over dmd.ZenUsers.getAllActionRules(), making changes to .format and .clearFormat, and committing my zodb changes. I cannot seem to do the same with zenoss 4.1.1. My changes do not seem to be commited to the zodb:

$ zendmd

foo=dmd.NotificationSubscriptions.notificationModificationTest
foo.content['subject_format']

u'[zenoss] ${evt/device} ${evt/summary}'

foo.content['subject_format'] = u'New Thing'
commit()
sync()
bar=dmd.NotificationSubscriptions.notificationModificationTest
bar.content['subject_format']

u'New Thing'

quit()

$ zendmd

bar=dmd.NotificationSubscriptions.notificationModificationTest
bar.content['subject_format']

u'[zenoss] ${evt/device} ${evt/summary}'

Am I doing something wrong, or should I be filing a defect?
