Hello, i would like to know if there is a way to select multiple config nodes.  
Something like the attribute `multiple` in a `<select>` tag.

You could probably have an [editableList](https://nodered.org/docs/api/ui/editableList/) of config nodes.

Similar to how the change node does 1 or more entries

I was thinking about this feature aswell, i tried a little bit without succeeding on how to add a config node dynamically in the editableList.

The configuration node :

I get this :

Just a thought, instead of building a new node, why not contribute to the currently best and most supported MSSQL node?

[node-red-contrib-mssql-plus](https://flows.nodered.org/node/node-red-contrib-mssql-plus)

It would be simple to add dynamic capability to "connect" and "disconnect" on the fly without having to setup multiple configs.

Actually, I use this configuration node for testing purpose, i will swap with my configuration node once i found the solution to this problem.
