How to change the System Settings doctype?
I would like to add a Section Break to the System Settings doctype, then add fields.
But after an update these changes will be overwritten.
I would like to ask if there is a way to make changes without losing them after an update.
Thank you

Hi:
Core doctypes cannot be customized with “official” procedures.
Check here:
That’s not the reason people advise against it. You can definitely make changes to core DocTypes without losing them during updates. You just have to be willing to spend time doing git merging. It’s the savings in time + effort that fuels these suggestions.
But for anyone who’s previously worked with an ERP using a compiled programming language? Merging code modifications is a fact of life, and the -only- way to upgrade.
Frappe/ERPNext are able to skip this step(*), because they’re based …
Other ways: create an auxiliar doctype linked to core doctype, and add there your custom fields.
Hope this helps!
