model driven app - custom app parameters

Hi,

I'm developing a model driven apps and I would have to create an app parameters page.

My parameters could be any data type (boolean, text, number, date, ...)

1. I'm wondering what is the best game and how do you do this part of the app?

I found different ways but each one has pros and cons :

- 1 column by parameter in a table, I don't like the idea to have only one line and many columns
- a table with 1 parameter by line and columns would be look like parameter/datatype/boolean_value/number_value/date_value/...
- environment variable, nearly similary to the previous idea, but you can't create/modify views and forms (environmentvariabledefinition and environmentvariablevalue)
- create a custom html page with javascipt using Xrm.Page which is/would be deprecated(?).
Is it this way Dynamics Sales parameters page has been done?
- ...

2. As data can't be included in the solution, how can you create all parameters row in the table without do it manually?
I believe you can make a plugin but it need an action to be trigger and a console app would need an app id/secret id.
