Using a theme to set a dojoAttribute

In 8.5.2, it is fairly easy to set a dojoAttribute. The example commonly used is the toolbarType which can be set to Slim, for example. But what I want is to be able to set the attribute in a theme. The actual attribute I want to set is fontSize_sizes and I want to set it to 8pt;9pt;10pt;12pt;14pt;18pt;24pt;36pt so that users who are used to setting sizes in point sizes can do so.
 
When I set this manually for a specific rich text control, the generated html adds an attribute to the <textarea> tag, so that it looks like:
 
<textarea ...  fontSize_sizes="8pt;9pt;10pt;12pt;14pt;18pt;24pt;36pt">
 
Given this, I have tried a few variations on

    <control>
        <name>InputField.RichText</name>
        <property mode="override">
            <name>fontSize_sizes</name>
            <value>8pt;9pt;10pt;12pt;14pt;18pt;24pt;36pt</value>
        </property>
    </control>
 
or

    <control>
        <name>InputField.TextArea</name>
        <property mode="override">
            <name>fontSize_sizes</name>
            <value>8pt;9pt;10pt;12pt;14pt;18pt;24pt;36pt</value>
        </property>
    </control>
 
What would the correct syntax be?

Re: Using a theme to set a dojoAttribute
I read this before and couldn't see what was wrong, but I've just re-read the post after your blog and have a thought. With the theme we're setting XPages properties, not dojoAttributes. In this case, the initial property of InputField.RichText would be dojoAttributes. The problem is that property is a complex property, with children <xp:dojoAttribute>, each with a name and value property. I've tried a few variants to get it working, but no joy. But that might get you somewhere.

Re: Using a theme to set a dojoAttribute
So, perhaps using the "concat" setting somehow? I'll play with it more. If I can get this fixed, there are a bunch more potential settings that could be done via theme. Thanks for the idea, and if you have any more, I'd love to hear them.

 Yes, themes are currently not handling complex types, which is an issue we are aware of.
