Can a database Connection String be edited directly?

Can a Connection String for an external database server connection be modified directly in the OneStream UI to an existing OS Cloud implementation  -- without creating a Support Request to have it changed?  

Likewise, can a new External Database Server connection string be created through the OneStream UI in an existing OS Cloud implementation?  Or does that also require a ticket?  I seem to remember that this ability to edit Cloud settings was added recently -- through a Solution? Or am I thinking of SIC?

You can do that in the system configuration.

It is a bit confusing UI :), you need to click on the check box and uncheck to make edits.

    In addition to the proper way to do this, as mentioned by ckattookaran  and available in recent releases, you should be able to create custom connections in code with BRApi.Database.CreateCustomExternalDbConnInfo in older versions (if you really have to).
