My goal is simple here, I need to read/save few of my values in one of these:

I am developing the plugin, in order it to work, user’s Project must have `[SectionsToSave]` specified in one of the `Project\Config\DefaultSomeConfig.ini` file, so my plugin would be able to save my values inside .inis at `Project\Saved\Config\WindowsEditor\SomeConfig.ini`(_screenshot above_)

By far, the only way I know - is primitively insert it by hand, manually in that .ini file, like so:

```auto
[SectionsToSave]
+Section=MySection1
+Section=SomeAnotherSection

```

It works. But how do I do it automatically? There is should already exist some proper functions to it, and it is just me - fail to find it.

And I definitely won’t _read/write_ to that file directly to place that stuff, that is to much work and risk to mess things there. People might already have such `[SectionsToSave]` with multiple existing `+Keys` in there specified.

What is correct way to do it?
