Adding a settings panel to your Burp extension - Port Swigger
Summary: PortSwigger published a tutorial showing how to add a custom panel to Burp Suite's Settings dialog using the settingsPanel() builder, which supports text and number fields, checkboxes, and drop-down menus. The panel can persist settings to the project file, to user data across all projects, or not at all, and is registered with Burp's interface through registerSettingsPanel().
Key Takeaway: Extension settings saved as USER_SETTINGS persist across every project on a machine, so a single configuration choice in a Burp extension can follow a tester from one engagement to the next.
