I have a SQL Server API connection that is used by my logic app. For some of the actions, it lets you pick "Use Connection Settings" for the Database Name. I'd like to swap what database we're using by just changing the database name in the connection, but I haven't found a way to do that. Is this possible or will I need to find another solution like creating a whole new api connection and deleting the old one.

    Was trying to edit the connection using managed identity authentication. Switched to SQL Server authentication and then I was able to change the database name.
