With LyX 2.1.x, you cannot use the descirbed feature with the todonotes module, since it only works for packages "known" to LyX (and the todonotes packages is not known to LyX 2.1). Making a package "known" requires a change in the LyX source code. With LyX 2.2, you just need to copy the following to Document > Settings > Local Layout: PackageOptions todonotes myoptions Jürgen

Thanks for these interesting approaches, Richard! In this regard, it
would also be nice if one could point Lyx to module files that are
located outside ~/.lyx
This way I could save the module file together with my document (in a
git repo) and have it ready wherever I need it.
Contrary to what I wrote before, passing the options as global options
to the document class *does* work. On my first try, I didn't see the
effect because I use the tikzexternalize package and todonotes renders
its notes with Tikz. This prevented rerendering.

There's a dirty, but quite general hack that I have often used in the
past. In "class options", add:
]{myClass}\PassOptionsToPackage{myOptions}{todonotes}%
I'd be happy to hear about a better solution...
That really is a hack!!
Yeah sorry about that.
(Please please do not attempt anything at preventing such things because
I have no alternative for the moment.)
A possible solution would be to change the module itself. But I don't
like this solution much because it would have a system wide effect where
I only want it to affect the document. (Also, I don't want to change the
moule on all systems I use.)
It is possible to redefine insets in "Local Format". I'm curious as
well to hear whether something can be done there to pass new package
options. If not, would it make sense to implement a
PassOptionToPackage layout command?
What happens if you just do:
AddToPremable
\PassOptionsToPackage...
EndPreamble
in local layout? I'll guess it may not work, since this line will be
output too late
Yes, it's too late.
If so, then a PassOptionToPackage tag would be a very good idea. These
could be output very early, yes?
I do like the idea of a PassOptionToPackage tag.
But in regards to my hack, I could completely get rid of it only if we
had an AddToEarlyPreamble section the adds lines before the
LyX-generated preamble.
Some options like \zoomfactor even want to be output before the document
class, and I think some command had also to be moved to before the
documentclass recently. Maybe we need a general solution for such issues.

The lists now work again.
Adding another \usepackage[myOptions]{todonotes} to my preamble causes
an options clash. I tried to

Copy todonotes.module to todonotes2.module. Open it and make whatever
changes you
wish (I'd make some change to the first line and description so you know
which is which),
then reconfigure LyX so it is seen and use the modified version in this
paper.
Alternatively, copy the contents of todonotes.module to Local Layout and
make your
changes there. Then remove the ToDo Notes module from the list of used
modules.
