How can I edit the version property of the package.json for a node-red project?  
There are options to edit the dependency part from the UI/Editor

```auto
{
    "name": "proj1",
    "description": "abcd",
    "version": "0.0.1",
    "dependencies": {
        "node-red-contrib-xx": "yyy"
    }
}

```

You cannot edit it.

It's a missing feature that is on the backlog to fix.

Thanks for the quick reply.  
How can I track the backlog? Do you use trello or something similar that's available to the community to view?
