Solved Odd values being saved to Config

In my plugin I have a config with a few lists. But the values that are being saved aren't lists.
Snippet of config:

Code:

colors:
  red:
    title: '&c&lRed'
    lore: &id001
    - '&aThis is a colour'
    - '&3But Not Just any colour.'
    - '&bThis is a &f&lChat Color.'
  aqua:
    title: '&b&lAqua'
    lore: *id001
  gray:
    title: '&7&lGray'
    lore: *id001
  blue:
    title: '&9&lBlue'
    lore: *id001
  bold:
    title: '&lBold'
    lore: *id001
  cyan:
    title: '&3&lCyan'
    lore: *id001
  green:
    title: '&2&lGreen'
    lore: *id001
  purple:
    title: '&5&lPurple'
    lore: *id001
  gold:
    title: '&6&lGold'
    lore: *id001
  lime:
    title: '&a&lLime'
    lore: *id001
  pink:
    title: '&d&lPink'
    lore: *id001
  yellow:
    title: '&e&lYellow'
    lore: *id001
  rainbow:
    title: '&o&lRainbow'
    lore: *id001

Part that makes that happen:

Code:java

 
        List<String> lore = new ArrayList<String>();
        lore.add("&aThis is a colour");
        lore.add("&3But Not Just any colour.");
        lore.add("&bThis is a &f&lChat Color.");
        getConfig().addDefault("colors.red.title", "&c&lRed");
        getConfig().addDefault("colors.red.lore", lore);
 
        getConfig().addDefault("colors.aqua.title", "&b&lAqua");
        getConfig().addDefault("colors.aqua.lore", lore);
 
        getConfig().addDefault("colors.gray.title", "&7&lGray");
        getConfig().addDefault("colors.gray.lore", lore);
 
        getConfig().addDefault("colors.blue.title", "&9&lBlue");
        getConfig().addDefault("colors.blue.lore", lore);
 
        getConfig().addDefault("colors.bold.title", "&lBold");
        getConfig().addDefault("colors.bold.lore", lore);
 
        getConfig().addDefault("colors.cyan.title", "&3&lCyan");
        getConfig().addDefault("colors.cyan.lore", lore);
 
        getConfig().addDefault("colors.green.title", "&2&lGreen");
        getConfig().addDefault("colors.green.lore", lore);
 
        getConfig().addDefault("colors.purple.title", "&5&lPurple");
        getConfig().addDefault("colors.purple.lore", lore);
 
        getConfig().addDefault("colors.gold.title", "&6&lGold");
        getConfig().addDefault("colors.gold.lore", lore);
 
        getConfig().addDefault("colors.lime.title", "&a&lLime");
        getConfig().addDefault("colors.lime.lore", lore);
 
        getConfig().addDefault("colors.pink.title", "&d&lPink");
        getConfig().addDefault("colors.pink.lore", lore);
 
        getConfig().addDefault("colors.yellow.title", "&e&lYellow");
        getConfig().addDefault("colors.yellow.lore", lore);
 
        getConfig().addDefault("colors.rainbow.title", "&o&lRainbow");
        getConfig().addDefault("colors.rainbow.lore", lore);

So far, red is the only value that is kind of there and I'm pretty sure it's because I manually edited it.
the *id001 shouldn't be there, there should be a list there instead.
I saw an old thread that had this problem. The solution they came up with didn't seem to work for me though.

 

acer5999 , The first thing I notice is that the first lore value has this string: &id001
All of the others have this string: *id001
Is the class that you are writing this in static?

 

Nothing is in static in this class, that config setting is in my onEnable

Solved - Decided to not save values via config and hand write them. Works now.
