Importing scan configuration in a headless mode

Artem | Last updated: Jun 27, 2019 12:18PM UTC

Hello, When running Burp in headless mode I can pass project configuration parameters, which include most of the settings except for scan configuration. Is it possible to import custom scan configuration (exists in library) in headless mode? This is possible through Burp API using "scan_configuration" parameter, but what about headless mode? Can it be considered as a feature request? Thanks in advance!

Update: found that scan configuration is stored within Burp project. Every time I start a new project, the scan configuration will be set to default.

Artem, you've stated that you can do this via the Burp API, which would seem to satisfy your use case. If I've got this wrong could you further explain what you are trying to achieve. Thanks.
