Scratch Org Settings

Scratch org settings are the format for defining org preferences in the scratch org definition. Because you can use all Metadata API settings, they’re the most comprehensive way to configure a scratch org. If a setting is supported in Metadata API, it’s supported in scratch orgs. Settings provide you with fine-grained control because you can define values for all fields for a setting, rather than just enabling or disabling it.

For information on Metadata API settings and their supported fields, see Settings in Metadata API Developer Guide.

Although the Settings are upper camel case in the Metadata API Developer Guide, be sure to indicate them as lower camel case in the scratch org definition.

Here’s an example of how to configure SecuritySettings in your scratch org. In this case, to define session timeout, you nest the field values.

1{
2  "orgName": "Acme",
3  "edition": "Enterprise",
4  "features": [],
5  "settings": {
6       "mobileSettings": {
7          "enableS1EncryptedStoragePref2": true
8       },
9      "securitySettings": {
10          "sessionSettings":{
11             "sessionTimeout": "TwelveHours"
12          }  
13      }
14  }
15}

This example shows how to use NameSettings to enable middle names and suffixes in your org for these person objects: Contact, Lead, Person Account, and User.

1{
2  "orgName": "Acme",
3  "edition": "Enterprise",
4  "settings": {
5      "mobileSettings": {
6          "enableS1EncryptedStoragePref2": true
7       },
8       "nameSettings": {
9          "enableMiddleName": true,
10          "enableNameSuffix": true
11      }
12  }
13}
