Hi everyone!
My current environment is Node-Red Express and I'd like to be able to modify the flows_cred.json values at runtime without restarting Node Red. In this way, I thought, the configuration nodes' credentials can be automatically saved every time Node Red restarts, as I couldn't do it in the settings.js file ('credentialSecret'). The flows_cred.json file is changed indeed when the credential for a new node (e.g. Dropbox) is added. However, when I rewrite the file at runtime, the values were overwritten, but nothing happened. There are still nodes that prompt for API keys that are missing. Any ideas? Is it even possible? Also, I looked in previous posts here, but did not find an answer.
Here's my flow. Thanks for your help:)
