Scary warning when editing RAILWAY_SHM_SIZE_BYTES on pg db

This warning appears when i try to change the env var. But I can't find anywhere in the DB config UI to update this value. So updating the var appears to be the only way - would this actually cause a problem? 🤔 Not sure what "Database configuration will not be updated" means here exactly

sorry, the service picker wants me to scroll through 200 services without search, so here's the url. hope that's fine

You can change it without any issues if that's the only environment variable.

Even the documentation confirms this: https://docs.railway.com/databases/postgresql#increasing-the-shm-size.

yeah exactly, i saw those docs - that made the warning even more surprising though. I set that same value on a DB many months ago and I don't remember seeing it then.

I guess just some feedback for the team then that this warning is a bit confusing^^

i agree too, that deserves a #🤗|feedback thread 🙂

👍 will open. i did end up changing the value and (despite the warning) the change applied just fine, btw.
