You definitively cannot edit this file:

SymbolSettings.scdataallservices.xml

Any changes will simply be ignored and overwritten.

To understand symbol settings, refer to:
Global Symbol Settings

You can create new symbol settings for a specific symbol or a symbol pattern. When using a pattern, you need to enable this option for the particular symbol settings:
