ArcGIS Web AppBuilder widget config?

Question

I downloaded a webapp builder template (javascript) that I've placed on my own web server and is running fine.

However, I am not able to modify the widgets in the config.json file to the settings that I want.

For instance, I want the "Coordinate" widget to have meters instead of feet, however, when I adjust the config.json file in the widget file, these changes aren't reflect.

Has anyone encountered this issue?

I read the webapp builder documentation (http://doc.arcgis.com/en/web-appbuilder/extend-apps/coordinate.htm) but can't seem to figure it out.

This is the json in the current config file (for the app itself, not just the widget):

  {
    "label": "Coordinate",
    "uri": "widgets/Coordinate/Widget",
    "position": {
      "left": 200,
      "bottom": 20
    },
    "config": {}
  }

This is the json in the widget config file:

{
  "outputunit": "dms",
  "spatialReferences": []
}

The latter says DMS but the units still show up as feet.

In the Web AppBuilder for ArcGIS (Developer Edition), after modifying the configuration of the Coordinate Widget in a local application and ensuring that you've saved your work, the settings can be found/manipulated here

apps\[number]\widgets\Coordinate\config_Coordinate.json
