When developing a Custom Integration, if you “edit” the integration app (i.e. make a change to the app’s schema), Fibery disconnects all the DBs previously synced from the app. So when you sync again, you have all new DBs, and _all your views, reports, etc that you previously built for the space are now moot, and need to be manually recreated._

It would be super helpful if:

- **When “editing” a Custom Integration app, DON’T automatically disconnect the DBs previously created by the Integration.**

A second thing that would be quite useful would be:

- **The ability to change the data source of a View/Report (“Rows”)**, while still keeping the rest of the View/Report/Smart Folder definition intact, where applicable - i.e. visible Columns, Filters, Sorts, Colorizing Rules. Currently if I change the Rows source of a View from one DB to a different DB that has the exact same schema, Fibery _still clears the View’s definition._
