# Asterisk Project : Adding to an existing section

Added by malcolmd , edited by lmadsen on Apr 28, 2011

If you want to add settings to an existing section of a configuration file (either later in the file, or when using the #include and #exec constructs), add a plus sign in parentheses after the section heading, as shown below:

    [section-name]
    setting1=value1

    [section-name](+)
    setting2=value2

This example shows that the setting2 setting was added to the existing section of the configuration file.
