You can find it under Preferences > Data Management > Project Lists
[x] Enable Auto-Import
[x] Enable Auto-Export
Here you can define an export-path
Or via Script...
SetValue "preferences.data_management.projects_auto_import_enable", True
SetValue "preferences.data_management.projects_auto_import_enable", False
...
I don't remeber exaclty if it's an xml-file. But it is pure ascii. xsi
-projlist ist an other way to do it. Don't know which one fits to your
pipeline.

Betreff: Re: "Dynamic" Workgroups
never mind, just saw in the docs that you can use
xsi -projlist <projectlist_filename>
but another method is perhaps prefeered?
