Alfresco Enterprise uses JMX to persist configuration. This feature is not available in Community.

There was some project to start creating JMX Beans for Community, but it has been abandoned:

GitHub - loftuxab/alfresco-jmx: Alfresco JMX module from Loftux AB

The 1.1.0.0 version of OOTBee Support Tools includes an Admin Console tool to change subsystem configuration on-the-fly. It does not have structured forms like Enterprise does, but should cover a wide range of the JMX config. It can be found as a plugin to the "Command Console" page when using the latest snapshot (documentation still to be done). And in addition to the UI, the addon includes a properties persister so subsystem configuration changes are stored in the database, similar to how JMX handles it, to be re-applied after a restart.
