Use the jsonData property for custom fields.

Here’s how i did at https://github.com/gbrian/grafana-timelion-datasource

  • In config.html add extra code for the settings like <input ng-model="ctrl.current.jsonData.xxxx"/>
  • In your ConfigCtrl constructor initialize values
  • In datasource.js read the value at constructor like this instanceSettings.jsonData.xxx

Hope this helps
