Yes, I have learned my lesson and now know to add code to _custom instead of _additional. I also realize I can manually update the MySQL database. However, that does not solve my problem - FreePBX is updating the MySQL database fine, and it appears as if all my changes are sticking, until I actually look at the extensions_additional.conf file and realize no changes have been committed at all. In fact, the timestamp on the file hasn't even changed from when I made my manual edit.
My question is, is there a way to forcibly tell FreePBX to dump all its MySQL database configuration settings into the /etc/asterisk files even if they have been manually modified? If FreePBX does this by default (overwriting any custom changes to the _additional files) then where might I start looking for the reason it's not doing it? Thanks.

you put custom code in the _custom.conf files not in the _addtional.conf files. You can also add the changes directly to the Mysql database as well and they will be included in the _addtional.conf files.
