Visual Studio SSDT Schema Compare - limited number of items in the MRU connection list?

Question

When using Schema compare -> Select target -> Choose database it seems like the list of recently used database connections is limited to show five entries. When adding 'New connection' an (apparently) random entry from the list is replaced with the new entry.

Can this limit be changed, so we can have e.g. 10 databases in the list?

This would be helpful, as we work with solutions with two database projects, and five different target environments, and each time we do a schema compare on a database, moving up the 'environment ladder' some entries are removed, forcing us to re-enter connection strings on a daily basis.

Answer 1

I checked and it's hard-coded to 5 right now. There's no way around this, but I'll look into fixing it in a future release since this does seem too low.

Answer 2

After updating SSDT to newer version amount of possible stored connections increased. Press to download
