Step 1: Create your custom module

Step 2: Create system.xml file

Inside your module's etc folder, create a system.xml file. This file will define your custom configuration fields.

Step 3: Define configuration fields

Within system.xml, define your custom configuration fields using XML tags like <section>, <group>, and <field>. Specify field types, labels, and other attributes.

<config xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:module:Magento_Config:etc/system_file.xsd">
    <system>
        <section id="custom_section" translate="label" type="text" sortOrder="100" showInDefault="1" showInWebsite="1" showInStore="1">
            <label>Custom Section</label>
            <tab>general</tab>
            <resource>Magento_Config::config</resource>
            <group id="custom_group" translate="label" type="text" sortOrder="10" showInDefault="1" showInWebsite="1" showInStore="1">
                <label>Custom Group</label>
                <field id="custom_field" translate="label" type="text" sortOrder="10" showInDefault="1" showInWebsite="1" showInStore="1">
                    <label>Custom Field</label>
                    <comment>Some description for your custom field.</comment>
                    <validate>validate-number</validate>
                </field>
            </group>
        </section>
    </system>
</config>

Step 4: Run setup upgrade command

After defining your configuration, run the setup upgrade command to apply changes:

php bin/magento setup:upgrade

Step 5: Access Configuration in the Admin Panel

Navigate to Stores > Configuration in the Admin Panel. Your custom configuration section and fields should be visible for modification.

Congratulations! You've successfully added custom configuration settings to Magento 2 through your custom module. Adjust these steps according to your specific requirements.
