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).
