+## Dumping specific configuration values to JSON
+
+If you want to bulk-modify configuration values (for example, for MRF modifications),
+it may be easier to dump the values to JSON and then modify them in a text editor.

+## Loading specific configuration values from JSON
+
+**Note:** This will overwrite any existing value in the database, and can
+cause crashes if you do not have exactly the correct formatting.
+
+Once you have modified the JSON file, you can load it back into the database.
