Hi

When using datamanagementforms (DW 8.4+), the field FormSettingConnection in DMFormSetting contains the databasename.

We are used to use different databasenames for development, acceptation and live environments, to avoid connecting the wrong database. With the databasename in the formsettingtable we have to change it everytime we override a database.

Could this be removed?

+1 This would be really useful.

Also, please check out the original request: http://developer.dynamicweb.com/forum/cms-standard-features/formsettingconnection-in-dmformsetting-contains-databasename.aspx as it has some useful suggestions.

Personally, I would like to see a switch in the UI so we can choose between "System database" and "Custom connection string" or something like that. The first option would not store a connection string at all making it much more transferable between environments.
