What is the proper way to override field type config stored in database?

Created 7 years ago by mattcdavis1

Specifically, i am trying to override the related config value for the file and files field types. Initially i though i could do this via addon:publish anomaly.field_type.files but it appears as though the related value is coming from the database config field. Is there a way to override this apart from modifying the database value? What is the proper approach for this? The specific area of code that i want to override is below (I want to use my file model which extends anomaly file model):

/**
     * Get the relation.
     *
     * @return BelongsToMany
     */
    public function getRelation()
    {
        $entry = $this->getEntry();

        return $entry->belongsToMany(
            array_get($this->config, 'related', 'Anomaly\FilesModule\File\FileModel'),
            $this->getPivotTableName(),
            'entry_id',
            'file_id'
        )->orderBy($this->getPivotTableName() . '.sort_order', 'ASC');
    }
