JDBC default connection param repopulates on restart

Hello,

I'm not sure if this is the appropriate forum for this but I'm having an issue with Intellij version 2024.1.5 (Ultimate Edition) for Mac.

My global Teradata JDBC driver ver 20.0 (but other Teradata JDBC driver versions seem to behave similarly) keeps populating a default “user defined" param in the advanced tab on restarting the app.

Key: MetadataRetrievalMethod

Value: ProxyAPI

If i delete this parameter hit apply & ok everything works fine for the session (until restart).  My queries will not execute in console if that parameter exists.

What am I missing here?  How do I permanently remove this?
