Thanks so much for this thread! 🙂 I think it’s exactly what I am looking for. I had a few questions, if I enable this:

1. will I need to do a `./launcher rebuild app` afterwards?
2. will the value be stored in the DB somewhere? Since its not in the admin UI I want to ensure if my VM gets wiped and I follow the Cloud install guide (using the same DB) that the setting will still be there.

Nope, only reload the browser.

Yes, all changes to site settings are stored in the DB 🎊
