Error reading files after runtime update from 4.0.0.0 to 4.8.0.0

Since version 19 they changed how file access is handle.
There are two solutions:
1. You change where the file is stored (need to go to: /PlcLogic/)
2. You can, if you don´t want to store at PlcLogic, add the following line in the CODESYSControl.cfg under [SysFile]: ForceIecFilePath=0
The CodesysControl.cfg is at C:\ProgramData\CODESYS\CODESYSControlWinV3x64\xxPROJECT_NUMBERxx\
Here the email they sent:
"with the 3.5.19 Version we changed how files are handled.
See following issue: CDS-81506 - CODESYS Control SysFile system file access vulnerability.
There are two solutions:
1. You change where the file is stored (need to go to: /PlcLogic/)
2. You can, if you don´t want to store at PlcLogic, add the following line in the CODESYSControl.cfg under [SysFile]: ForceIecFilePath=0
Here is the official release-note:
[[COMPATIBILITY_INFORMATION]]
With the activation of ForceIecFilePath the file access from IEC is now restricted to the configured paths only (file sandbox)!
[SysFile]
ForceIecFilePath=1 (new default)
The standard path is the current directory, the PlcLogic subfolder or a configured path. Every file access outside of this path is configured via PlaceholderFilePath, for example access to temporary files or removable media:
[SysFile]
PlaceholderFilePath.1=/tmp, $TMP$
PlaceholderFilePath.2=/media/usb, $USB$
PlaceholderFilePath.2.Volatile=1
For more information see our tutorial FilePath & Placeholders.
To restore the old behavior ForceIecFilePath may be configured as follows:
[SysFile]
ForceIecFilePath=0
BUT WE HIGHLY RECOMMEND TO LEAVE THIS SETTING AT ITS NEW DEFAULT VALUE!

I also had noticed the same problem.Infact the file access with SysFileOpen was working till CODESYS Control for Raspberry Pi MC SL V 4.6.0.0

Manual editing of user.cfg file wouldnt be a desirable method especially for Codesys IO libary packages which need some specific file access in some working directory in linux.

After much digging I found the following (Attachement)
So can i change it in the user.cfg file ? And what should the section in that case in the cfg file be named?

Checked the log and nothing there regarding reading my file but the following messages were availible.. Something about sysfile... Maybe helps...?

Working code: ~~~
OpenFile := SysFileOpen(szFile:=BMS_GVLconstants.SystemFilePath, am:=.Sysfile.AM_READ, pResult:=ADR(udiOpenError));
~~~
Doesnt work anymore the OpenFile has the value 16#FFFFFFFF and pResult = 39

In desperation I also tried the CAA_FILE lib to read the file and that returns the error FILE_OPERATION_DENIED.

As everything worked before, the files are present and the permissions are the same I blame codesys..
I even tried to change the file permissions to 777 and change the user and group to no avail.
Hopefully someone can point me in the correct direction.

Earlier I used Codesys 3.5.16.30 for enginnering and 4.0.0.0 as runtime
Now I use Codesys 3.5.19.0 for engineering and 4.8.0.0 as runtime and all devices and librarys updated to latest versions.
