$ENV Global Variable not work in DB Connection

Wappler 4.9.1 Node.js

Hello everyone,

the global variables do not work with the database connection

when I call the variable in the api I can see it.

When I want to use the variable in the DB Connection, wappler tells me it can’t find it

In the database manager you need to enter the direct connection details.
$_ENV variables are to be used for Server Connect Global Database Connections.

OK, understood. But then why do I need the $_ENV???
Double the work…that thing with the two types of connections is a bit strange anyway…but maybe I don’t understand it yet…

If I can’t use it. Wappler automatically enters this variable…well, I’ll test it the way you said

When you have different database connections and database connection details for your different targets … dev, staging and production.

I already understood that… but it would be nice if I could also use the variable in Dev mode in the direct connection. so I have to enter the things several times in dev mode…you know what I mean?

but thanks for your quick reply!
