### What issue or error are you experiencing? Cannot change/set database details for a blueprint. * * * ### What steps can be taken to replicate the issue? Feel free to include screenshots, videos, etc Create a new site. Update with custom database details (works fine). Create a blueprint from this site - does not work. HOWEVER, only works if database details are root/local. ---

Hi @farhanmunim! What about if you Clone the site instead of saving as a Blueprint? Does that retain the changes? ![Screenshot 2024-12-02 at 10.30.43 AM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/lwpforums/original/3X/2/f/2f24289f43b444a1bd52495f142805fb6e5bce79.png) ---
