Hi @Hal_Riggs. Yes. :slight_smile: The approach is to use Tutor’s plugin system instead of modifying the configs directly. Your changes will likely revert back the next time you run quickstart, such as when you upgrade.

The plugin would look like this:

from tutor import hooks

hooks.Filters.ENV_PATCHES.add_item(
    (
        "common-env-features",
        """
"ENABLE_SPECIAL_EXAMS": true
"""
    )
)

Here is how you would enable it:

mkdir -p "$(tutor plugins printroot)"
touch "$(tutor plugins printroot)/timed_exam.py"

# Add the contents, list and then enable
tutor plugins list
tutor plugins enable timed_exam

# Re-generate the environment
tutor config save

# Restart to apply the changes
tutor local stop && tutor local start -d
