Custom Settings Profile payload for Chrome

Hi all,

I'm trying to configure Chrome using a Custom Settings payload, since I tried MCX and it doesn't appear to work with our AD mobile accounts. I'm largely managing basic stuff, homepage settings and a couple of extensions, but am having trouble getting the .plist to upload to a Profile in the JSS.

I found this this thread and tried this process, but even after I configure the relevant settings for a clean user, I can't find the relevant .plist. I'm looking at ~/Library/Preferences/com.google.Chrome.plist for the relevant user, but that file only contains the following:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
    <key>LastRunAppBundlePath</key>
    <string>/Applications/Google Chrome.app</string>
</dict>
</plist>

I'm sure I'm missing something obvious, but where should I be looking to grab the keys for settings I've already configured for this user? It seems as though Chrome actually stores its settings in ~/Library/Application Support/Google/Chrome/Default, but how do I get a .plist I can upload to the JSS from these files?

I've found this page to be very helpful when writing profile commands
