Hi there,

Sorry for not providing any feedback earlier. I think your suggestion is
already the default behavior for settings. See the comment at:
https://github.com/fatfreecrm/fat_free_crm/blob/master/config/settings.default.yml#L18-34


# Fat Free CRM settings are stored in three places, and are loaded in the
following order:
#
# 1) config/settings.default.yml
# 2) config/settings.yml  (if exists)
# 3) 'settings' table in database  (if exists)
#
# Any settings in `config/settings.yml` will override those in
# `config/settings.default.yml`, and settings in the database table have
the highest priority.
#
# This settings arrangement offers a lot of flexibility:
#
# * Developers can add new settings to the application with default values,
#   without requiring the user to manually update setting files or run
tasks.
# * No manual configuration is required to start the application after
installation
# * IT administrators can change the default configuration by adding
'settings.yml'
#   to their git repo, or by running SQL that updates the 'settings' table
in the database.
# * Admin users can change settings via the admin interface, without
needing to edit YAML files.


Unfortunately, we haven't had time to build the admin settings
interface yet, since it hasn't been a very high priority.


Cheers,
Nathan
