How to Programmatically Add Value List on Application Startup

I would personally generally guide you away from altering vault structure during application startup.  Vault structure is often something which people spend significant time designing, and my personal view is that simply adding a vault application should not interfere with that.

That said: if you must then the way forward is to use the API method you linked to, from the appropriate place in the vault application startup.  From recollection the key part here is to ensure that you use the correct vault reference from the correct place in the startup logic, otherwise you'll get errors when you try.  I don't have more direct guidance to hand, though, as it's something that I don't personally do very often.

Got it, thanks for the clarification.
