There is no configuration variable for the JSON file. The JSON file is crucial for changing IFC export settings - without a configuration variable we cannot include it in our workspace configuration.
Currently the schema mapping file is placed under the user's appdata folder on the local machine.
According to Bentley documentation you can edit the schema mapping file to create company or project specific standards. But the schema mapping file is placed locally on the c-drive and not part of the workspace configuration
What I am requesting is a configuration variable with a pointer to the file similar to "ITEMTYPE_LOOKUP" for the Item Type lookup table.
