I've been looking through various DAML references but can't seem to find esri_geodatabase_folderConnectionContainer and alternative values for placeswith when defining a custom project item container in Config.DAML. I'm following the "ProConcepts Custom Items" document. I'm developing an add-in that needs to store private data in the project and am thinking a custom project item is the way to do it. If possible I'd prefer the project item not be visible to the use.
This Pro Guide might help: ProGuide-Custom-settings
Note that OnReadSettingsAsync is called only if you _have_ settings in a given aprx (and the module is already loaded). It is called when the project is opened. OnWriteSettingsAsync will be called on project save.
HI Alan,
You can use BackStage_PropertyPage ArcGIS Pro sample to store private data in the project. More info here:

Thanks, Gintautas, I'd discovered that after posting this question. This approach seems to require creating a property sheet that is displayed in the backstage, which is undesirable in my case. It's also limited to string representations, not a big deal, but less than ideal. I really want to store complex data, preferably without it being visible to the user.
It looks like it might be possible to do a property page that displays only a minimal number of properties but actually store many more behind the scene. I'm implementing an experiment today.
In ArcObjects our application stored private custom data by storing a custom object as a PageLayoutExtension.
Hi Alan,
You can use project settings without user interface. You can find implementation in module class. All complex settings you can serialize and store as strings

I tried that yesterday. The debugger shows that OnReadSettingsAsync() and OnWriteSettingsAsync() are never being called. That's why it appears to me a property page is necessary.
Unless it's possible to instantiate ModuleSettingsReader and ModuleSettingsWriter in my module and make those calls form within the module?
