High Running "mender-artifact modify --server-uri <uri> --tenant-token <token" on a ".sdimg" file does not result in a mender.conf file containing my desired values.
The same procedure works as expected on ".mender" artifact files.
I have also tested with older "mender-artifact" version, and this seems like a regression as the commands worked just fine in 2.2.0 release, but not in any of the later ones.
Example to reproduce:
