Modify service configuration section to be easier to understand for newer users. Remove section about losing settings at relaunch, because I believe that has been fixed. It works on my machine

If you want to configure the settings declaratively with within configuration.nix, you will have to instead install transmission-qt or transmission-gtk. Do note that this is using version 3.0.0 instead of version 4.

{{outdated | This section was created in 2017 and this workaround may not be needed anymore for changing settings. This will stay until final confirmation occurs.}}
You can declaratively change the settings via Nix by modifying <code>services.transmission.settings</code>. [https://search.nixos.org/options?channel=23.11&from=0&size=50&sort=relevance&type=packages&query=transmission.settings View the documentation for more info]. Like the previous section has said before, you'll have to use the nixpkgs transmission-gtk or transmission-qt for this to work.
 
Changes to the configuration in the interface will not persist when the application is re-launched. <code>services.transmission.settings</code> is reset each time the service restarts.  


<blockquote>
Example:
Attribute set whos[e] fields overwrites fields in settings.json (each
<syntaxHighlight lang=nix>
time the service starts). String values must be quoted, integer and
services.transmission.settings = {
boolean values must not.
  download-dir = "${config.services.transmission.home}/Downloads";
</blockquote>
};

To persist changes, edit them, look at the <code>[services.transmission.home]/.config/transmission-daemon/settings.json</code> file generated for the setting keys and their values, and save them to <code>services.transmission.settings</code>
