Workaround for Your Flash settings will be kept until you quit Chrome

Edit: I found the documentation for this setting so the below steps can be applied to any OS: According to https://www.chromium.org/administrators/policy-list-3#PluginsAllowedForUrls – you can add sites you want to automatically run flash on with this list. This includes * – but please don’t do that – seriously, see end of this answer.

Detailed Windows Steps:

WARNINGmistakes in your registry could prevent your computer from booting or working correctly – use at your own risk.

You can add sites to your registry for Chrome Policies “PluginsAllowedForUrls” – this is not specific to Flash, but is currently the only setting I see impacted by the change when viewing: chrome://settings/content/siteDetails?site=https%3A%2F%2Fmytrustedsite.com

Using regedit, navigate to the below key & create new String Values for each site you want to permanently allow Flash to run on (http:// could be used too if you just throw all caution to the wind):

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Google\Chrome\PluginsAllowedForUrls]
New String Values can be added here for trusted sites:
  "1" = "https://my.trustedsite.com"   <-- specific site format
  "2" = "https://[*.]trustedsite.com"  <-- if you want to trust all sub-domains too
  "3" = "https://*" <-- please don't do this. seriously, don't do this.

Note: If “Google\Chrome\PluginsAllowedForUrls” Keys (folders) do not already exist, create them, then create the String Values.

Restart Chrome & open your trusted site – Flash should now load & site settings will reflect “Flash allowed by your administrator”

Flash allowed by your administrator

Extra word of caution about enabling this with ‘http://* or https://*’ – PLEASE DON’T DO THIS.
