Hello,

I’m using Remote Desktop Manager 2026.3.15.

Request
I would like to be able to override the port of a child connection that inherits its host, using only the custom host port setting in the connection’s Advanced tab.

Current behavior
Setting the custom host port in the Advanced tab has no effect on its own. For the port to be used, I currently have to:

  1. Change the host setting to “Host configured”.
  2. Rebuild the URL manually in the Website field using variables.

This workaround is counterintuitive and adds unnecessary configuration to every child connection.

Expected behavior
Entering a port in the Advanced tab should be enough. RDM should then build the connection URL automatically from:

  • the inherited host,
  • the “Force HTTPS” setting, (if applied)
  • the custom host port.


Thank you for considering this improvement.

Hello,

Thanks for the request. It makes sense to me. Having to switch every child entry to “Host configured” and rebuilding the URL by hand is a pain, and the custom port field should just work in this scenario.

I've opened an internal ticket so we can address this. At the moment I can't give you an estimate on when we will be able to work on this, but we'll post back here once it's available.

Hello,

Website entries will now properly take into account the "Custom port" advanced setting. This will take effect with the upcoming 2026.3.18 version.
