Am I correct in that there is no way to dynamically change the incoming UDP port using the default UDP node?

I know you can set the outgoing using `msg.ip` and `msg.port` - sucks that there seems to be no way to set the incoming.

Anyone know of any nodes that would allow me to do this?

Setting up an incoming connection requires a listener to be created. So changing it without restarting node-red would be harder than setting up a new outbound connection.

You would need to check the code for the node to see whether that is already supported.
