If you want to set specific options from the command line, we also provide flattened shortcuts to any item that is nested in the plist file.
For example, this policy:
-```
+```json
{
"policies": {
"Homepage": {
}
```
which would be set in the plist file like this:
+```xml
+<key>Homepage</key>
+<dict>
+ <key>URL</key>
+ <string>http://example.com</string>
+</dict>
```
- <key>Homepage</key>
- <dict>
- <key>URL</key>
- <string>http://example.com</string>
- </dict>
-```
