Inconsistencies between the 2 different database properties forms

Wappler Version : v5.3.1
Operating System : macOS Monterey Version 12.6
Server Model: nodejs
Database Type: postgresql
Hosting Type: Wappler Local Server

Expected behavior

To be able to set dynamic values for database connection details using the Database Manager. And/Or to be able to Test the database connection via Workflows->Globals->Database Connections.

Actual behavior

I’m using ENV variables with my database connection details. In order to do this I need to input them via the form under Workflows->Globals->Database Connections. The reason for this is that the form under Database Manager->Database Connections doesn’t provide the symbol for using dynamic data.

Additionally, the form under Workflows->Globals->Database Connections doesn’t have a Test button, which the other form does.

Theoretically I could enter the ENV details via the Workflows form and then go to the Database Manager form to Test the connection. However, there doesn’t appear to be a way to edit the connection details from the Database Manager, and therefore I can’t bring up the form containing the Test button.

This is causing me quite a bit of grief at the moment, so any help, advice of fix would be very much appreciated.

How to reproduce

Create a database connection using the Database Manager and then create another under Workflows->Globals->Database Connections. Observe the difference in the forms.
