Add a way to persist the webui-Graph settings including start vertex

[l3ifk]

My Environment

• ArangoDB Version: 3.118
• Deployment Mode: Cluster
• Deployment Strategy: Kubernetes
• Infrastructure: AWS

My question is, as stated, if there is any way to save Graph settings, especially start nodes. I use a python script to update the DB and to create the Graphs. Is there any way to set the start nodes with that?
I'm deploying a cluster with Kubernetes, maybe there's a possibility to set start nodes in the yaml file?

Thanks in advance!

Hi,
the graph settings or graph definitions only contains structural definitions; which edje collection connects which vertex collections.
If you later on run a query you specify the start vertex as part of the query.

Interesting, so I understand that correctly that the start vertex of the WebUI cannot be set per script. Only for a query?

Ah, you're talking about the webui, sorry didn't get that.
At the moment there is no way to persist the settings.

I will turn this into a feature request.
