Jabref allows to store part of its settings in a database-specific way directly in a given .bib file: https://docs.jabref.org/setup/databaseproperties

I would find super useful to be able to store more of these settings in a .bib file (use case: a big group of collaborators working on a database under version control, with a lot of settings that we currently need to maintain for every collaborator separately). Given that there is already a mechanism to export/import these preferences with an .xml file, could it be possible to implement this in a similar way for .bib files, in order to automatically load all of these preferences if present when opening a given database? Or does Jabref only support globally setting some of these values?

In particular I would need the following settings:

• mainTableColumnNames
• mainTableColumnSortTypes
• mainTableColumnSortOrder
• customTabName_0
• customTabFields_0
• useOwner
• addCreationDate
• reformatFileOnSaveAndExport
• useRemoteServer
• bibLocAsPrimaryDir
• customizedBibtexTypes

Thanks!
