Cannot Configure Script Management with Client Extensions

Issue

• Trying to set the Allow administrator true to create and execute code in Liferay settings in Script Management using Client Extensions, but the setting remains unchanged after deployment.

Example client-extension.yaml configuration:

liferay-sample-instance-settings-e9b8w3:
    name: Liferay Sample Instance Settings E9B8W3
    pid: com.liferay.portal.security.script.management.configuration.ScriptManagementConfiguration
    allowScriptContentToBeExecutedOrIncluded: true
    type: instanceSettings

Environment

• Liferay DXP 7.4+

Resolution

• Client Extensions can only configure Instance Settings. The Allow administrator to create and execute code in Liferay setting in Script Management is a System Setting and cannot be modified using Client Extensions.

Additional Information

• Configuration as Code
