Hy, i want to create a new system setting from a snippet. I get it to run with newObject('modSystemSetting') but i miss a field the name of the field and i think that is the reason why i can not edit my new setting from the settings menu.

Hope you can help, thanks

Check you are setting the following properties (not sure if all are required). You might also be forgetting to save the setting... try something like this:

$newSetting = array(
    'key' => 'mySetting',
    'value' => 'value',
    'xtype' => 'textfield',
    'namespace' => 'core',
    'area' => 'My Settings',
);

$setting = $modx->newObject('modSystemSetting', $newSetting);
$setting->save();
