In the Action field, select the "Execute Handlers" option.
Paste the following code in the Handler field.

function(req, res, next){
  try{
    if(!res.data || !res.data.settings) return next();
    res.data.settings.enableOrderImport = '1';
    res.data.settings.modifyImport = true;
    res.data.settings.modifiedImportTitle = 'Bulk Order Creation';
  }catch(e){
    console.log('error in hook file to link',e.message)
  }
  next();
}

Click the Save button to apply the changes.
