**How do I add customization settings to AWX UI?** ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/ansible/original/2X/2/2f97ff4ae12e1307b8a226845c2aea0ab47115f3.png) I want to add a toggleable boolean option to the MiscSystem page. I’ve added everything I _think_ I need to my own awx fork and have deployed it with the custom setting configured in the operator and _functionally_ my code works, but the setting doesn’t appear in the UI. Using `ACTIVITY_STREAM_ENABLED` as a reference, I’ve added the custom setting to the following files: - ./awx/main/conf.py - ./awx/settings/defaults.py - ./awx/ui/src/screens/Setting/MiscSystem/MiscSystemDetail/MiscSystemDetail.js - ./awx/ui/src/screens/Setting/MiscSystem/MiscSystemDetail/MiscSystemDetail.test.js - ./awx/ui/src/screens/Setting/MiscSystem/MiscSystemEdit/MiscSystemEdit.js - ./awx/ui/src/screens/Setting/MiscSystem/MiscSystemEdit/MiscSystemEdit.test.js - ./awx/ui/src/screens/Setting/shared/data.allSettingOptions.json - ./awx/ui/src/screens/Setting/shared/data.allSettings.json But the setting doesn’t appear in the UI. I _do_ know that a new UI setting would need to be added to the awx frontend in ansible-ui, but that should only affect UI-Next right? As seen in the screenshot, I don’t have the preview enabled right now. ---

How did you build customized image to include modified ui? The file `awx/ui/.ui-built` have to be removed (by hand or `make clean-ui`) before any build command with `make` to trigger rebuilding ui. ---

I’m building [https://github.com/Denney-tech/awx/tree/custom](https://github.com/Denney-tech/awx/tree/custom) from source in a dockerfile on OpenShift using the [Dockerfile.j2](https://github.com/ansible/awx/blob/devel/tools/ansible/roles/dockerfile/templates/Dockerfile.j2) as a reference, and there is no `./awx/ui/.ui-built` file in the source prior to starting the build. Does `make requirements_awx` and `make sdist` not make both UI and UI-Next? UI is the old UI that we normally see, and UI-Next is the optional preview of the new [ansible-ui](https://github.com/ansible/ansible-ui/tree/main/frontend/awx)? For now, I just wanted to modify UI and worry about UI-Next later. ---

@kurokobo Well now it shows up. Maybe it needed to do something on the backend or I needed to clear browser cache? ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/ansible/original/2X/5/51e038e1c33ca0f8c294c4c554576a5e08d6f1d4.png) It resolved itself somehow because I definitely was using the latest image I had built. 🤷‍♂️ ---
