[bug] static ipv6 address setting gets wiped upon applying iface settings in LuCI

See original GitHub issue

18.06 trunk

Whilst LuCI is lacking an option to set/specify a static ipv6 address for an iface via odhcp it is still possible to do so manually in /etc/config/network with

list ip6addr 'ipv6 address'

However, manipulating the iface settings later on via LuCI and pressing apply the aforementioned setting simply gets wiped from /etc/config/network

It confused me that LuCI removes a setting that works for netifd and thus I opened this as a bug report, since I also could not find said exclusivity documented.

If it is a feature however then please feel at liberty to close the issue. I am aware of what is happening with LuCI and handle the matter accordingly (editing /etc/config/network via ssh instead).

The ip6assign and ip6addr options are mutually exclusive (in LuCI) - that is why ip6addr gets removed upon save. Will clarify if they`re exclusive in netifd as well.
