Me and my friends have rented a game server and we were plaing just fine we wanted to try bosses on Hard difficulty so we changed it in the Gportal web settings but then we found the one shot mechanic is just no fun for us so we wanted to set the world back to normal only to find out ist impossible to do so. When we change it to normal, and save it then start the server it revert back to HARD settings even when we try to change it in .json file it still reverts back preventing us to changing the world difficulty, and we ended up unable to enjoy bossfights anymore cause the one shot mechanics...

Hi, @warm wraith
We've encountered a few times similar issues with GPortal. Try to repeat the same steps, but before each action — shut down the server, reload the page, change settings, reload the page, etc. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.
If this doesn't help, the only option left is to contact GPortal support. Looks like the problem is on their end.

I finally found the solution after trying almost everything the problem was in wording decisions in .json file. When i wanted to change it manualy i rewrote the Hard into Normal and the change reverted back when i started the server and the cause was that the server didnt recognize the .json file cause using Normal was incorrect. Then i used Medium instead of Normal when changing the Hard setting in .json file and suddenly the .json file saved and loaded properly and didnt revert anymore. So on GPortal web UI it is called Normal but for some reason the right wording in .json is Medium. The server does it to prevent incorrect json files to be loaded and being corrupted.
