I have built a new module from scratch in which I would like to customise a number of properties for a particular site so that this one configuration may be shared across all module instances across all pages within that site. Is this possible? I can see the option to customise the settings of an instance of a module but this does not help me. Thanks.

I believe if you add the setting to the "ModuleSetting" list rather than the "tabmodulesetting" list it will be persisted for ALL instances of the module.  I would have to test that to be 100% sure.

please notice the difference between a module definition, a module and a tabModule:

• Text/HTML is a module definition
• if you place it on a page, both a module and a tabmodule get created
• if you select "copy module" from the control panel, you create a shadow of the same module, i.e. another tabModule.

TabModuleSettings apply to an instance of a module on a page, while ModuleSettings apply to all instances of a module HAVING THE SAME CONTENT!

if you want to apply settings to all module instance you either need your own storage, store in settings of a unique module (e.g. portalSettings) or utilize host settings with a key containing a portalID
