Should be easy to save them to ProgramSettings and restore them from there.

Hi @amilcarlucas , I would like to work on this.

It seems like the new connection string is being added to the runtime list but not committed to th configuration file. I will investigate the save/load logic for connections.

Please assign this to me.

(ps thanks @flyasky for the clarification)

There is no code to save this setting to the configuration file yet.

Hi, @amilcarlucas I've verified this fix locally on Windows.

The custom connection string correctly persists in the dropdown and settings.json after a full restart.
