Hi forum,
I am looking for a way to set the file path of database in node-red-node-sqlite node something like via a msg parameter or set via a global context from settings.js.
Is this feature supported in sqlite node?
Will this feature be added in the upcoming releases?
Any such alternative excluding([this](https://flows.nodered.org/node/node-red-contrib-queued-sqlite-fix) and [this](https://flows.nodered.org/node/node-red-contrib-queued-sqlite)) nodes or a way to set it up dynamically using the original sqlite node?

Must it be runtime changeable?
If not, then would an Env Variable suffice?
[https://nodered.org/docs/user-guide/environment-variables](https://nodered.org/docs/user-guide/environment-variables)
> Any node property can be set with an environment variable by setting its value to a string of the form `${ENV_VAR}` . When the runtime loads the flows, it will substitute the value of that environment variable before passing it to the node.
