Windows 10 - Does anyone know if it is possible to Automate the setting import during the installation process? I am using a PS (PSappDeployToolkit) script to perform the installation of 2022.3

There  are several ways to share IDE settings: https://www.jetbrains.com/help/idea/sharing-your-ide-settings.html

One of the methods is using a ZIP archive:

Exporting the settings you want to share as a ZIP archive and then importing them to a different IDE installation. You can export your code style settings, Git settings, including registered GitHub accounts, the Debugger settings, Registry keys, look and feel, and more.

You can script the unpacking of the ZIP archive to a settings directory on every machine where you want to import the settings, and PyCharm should pick them up automatically.

I am assuming there is a command line available for it? where can I find a command line reference to export and import including required parameters?

I'm not sure if there's a command to export of import settings. You can export the settings manually from the File menu, this is a one-time operation.

If you put the settings to the configuration directory, they will be picked up automatically when you start the IDE.

Not feasible for 140 users, so they will have to do it themselves I guess...

As I understood, you have a single set of settings which you want to deploy on multiple machines, is that right? In that case, you can export the settings once from the master machine, and write a script to copy the settings to the required directory using your endpoint management software. No need for users to import the settings manually. Sorry if I miss the intention.
