OpenStack Connection Identity URL not saving in Admin UI

I am experiencing an issue where the Identity URL for our in-production OpenStack Connection in OSIE cannot be updated via the admin interface. When attempting to change the setting in `/osie_admin/system/settings/external/service/abcd123/openstack-connection`, the UI indicates that the connection was established and settings were saved after clicking `Reconnect` and `Save`. However, upon refreshing the page, the values revert to the old Identity URL. We managed to update it directly in OSIE's MongoDB using `db.externalService.updateOne( { _id: ObjectId('689de96f839204b017a4a694') }, { $set: { "config.identityUrl": "new-url" } } )`. I need to know if this direct database update is a sufficient and safe method.
