[Qt-creator] Configure script file path in QtCreator options and read it in plugin code

[Vidhya Arun]

Hi

 I was able to successfully add a custom option under Tools-Options of
QtCreator. I have a text box added in my custom page here to accept a
parameter.

But I would like to retain the value once entered and given an apply/Ok.
Currently every time I open the Tools-Options, the textbox is blank always.
Is there a way to save the once entered input in settings to avoid entering
input everytime ?
