Configure a Resource from code

Self Hosted Retool
1

Is it possible to configure a resource from code i.e. with environment variables or mapped config file?

I have an scenario where i want to setup a DB resource in retool. the retool instance is in a private subnet, with access to a private DB. all the db credentials are managed in Terraform, so it feels logical to pass then to retool programatically as well.

I've found that i can expose variables, which is a partial solution as it still requires a human to setup the resource (and manage any changes)

Hey @Cole_Diffin

Thanks for reaching out!

We don't have any Retool features with environment variables or a mapped config file that would help here :disappointed: You might be able to come up with a custom script that writes to the resources db table, but this isn't something I've tested personally or that we have documented examples of.
