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?

You can send an update flow json to node-red using the admin api [Admin API Methods : Node-RED](https://nodered.org/docs/api/admin/methods/)  
This will not be a trivial task. you will need to get the flow json and update the change node properties then upload the new flow json.

is this the same question?
