Somehow missed that Interface you linked -- thanks for that. Looking through the db again I did find a plugin_confguration col in some associated tables. I didn't realize those were hex/seralized data. Converting the hex string revealed the data I had been expecting to find. Was hoping to set some of this data during a migration but it might be trickier than I'd anticipated.

Plugins can be instantiated with configuration retrieved from any place, which for this plugin type is explained in the module code you have linked git.drupalcode.org/project/commerce_license/-/blob/8.x-2.x/src/…. | |

Because what I'm describing is specifically not in the exported site config at all. See the packaged commerce license plugin: git.drupalcode.org/project/commerce_license/-/blob/8.x-2.x/src/…. When a license is saved on a Product Variant, it's saved to $this->configuration['license_role']. Then when the edit form is loaded again, that value is used as the field default. But, exporting site config holds no reference to the value in $this->configuration['license_role'].

Thought that'd be the case, but I don't see any entries whose names seem quite right. Do you know how the name col is set/determined in config?

All configuration is stored in the config table in the database.
