So what in wanting to do is add rules into a change node by using dashboard forms, is there anyways to do this?

Some way to send a payload that will add a rule into the change node?

Not easily no. You would need to re-write the flow file and then redeploy the flow without the user noticing - which would be hard as it would most likely refresh the dashboard as well... so no. You could create a function node that did have your own set of rules that you could then control via messages from the dashboard.
