I'd like to import system config through the app:config:import command.

I have update app/etc/config.php file with described customer/captch/enable config path:

<?php return array (
  'system' =>
  array (
    'default' =>
    array (
      'customer' =>
      array (
        'captcha' =>
        array (
          'enable' => '0',
        ),
      ),
    ),
  ),

  'modules' =>
  array (
    'Magento_Store' => 1,
    'Magento_Directory' => 1,
    'Magento_Eav' => 1,
    'Magento_Backend' => 1,
    [...]

I'm expecting after magento app:config:import the path customer/captch/enable with value 0 should be added to core_config_data table.

But it's not adding/updating expected record.
What's the point of magento app:config:import in this case?

Is there a way to import this config except using magento config:set?

It's working in the same way for env.php as well, unfortunately.

Magento version: 2.2.5

  • Hi, sorry to open this here, but I want to know if you ever found a way to app:config:import system array settings? I have probably about 1500 system config settings - the Magento theme I use also import into /system_config/ section. All of them are locked (because of config.php), when removing them - defaults are applied. Oct 2, 2020 at 8:28
  • Hi @CvRChameleon, if I understood you correctly, are you talking about app:config:dump? I was just removing newly added data manually. gist.github.com/andkirby/6675e676462899d46f3a1ec478af6aff Sorry, not sure if this that you are talking about =)

  • Hi @Kirby, Unfortunately not - app:config:dump exports from database into config.php whereas app:config:import is supposed to import entries into database, but it skips system_config core_config_data entries :( I have around 1500 entries I am still trying to figure out (even created new questions) how to import them into db.

  • Basically, I have a new database, want to import them into db so that I can remove them from config.php so that they are editable in backend of Magento admin. Very inconvenient system they created with configs. Oct 2, 2020 at 14:55

Magento directly uses values in the system array in the config.php or env.php files instead of importing them into the database because they require some pre- and post-processing actions.

See official documentation for more details:
