Load user settings into app within a board menu item feature

I’m trying to load settings into the app, specifically the board menu item feature which I know I can do using react (manifest.json) etc. but I’m wondering if there is a way to load app settings from the Monday context?

This way I can allow the user to set the columns that would contain the post fields I need to post to social media (caption, image, hashtags, etc). It seems like you can do this with a Board View feature just not a board menu item feature?

Example this line of code doesn’t actually load anything or even get called.

monday.listen(“settings”, (res) => {
console.log("Settings: ",res.data);
setSettings(res.data);
});

Actions like the board menu item feature do not support settings.

These features are supposed to be quick actions that run in a specific context, rather than ones that require configuration and setup.

If you want to post column values to social media on the item level, I suggest an item view instead.
