I have a plugin/module that synchronises local records with a Google Sheet managed by the client.
The URL for this doc is stored in a module config.
I want the client to be able to update this via the control panel so have created a template for editing and a controller to update the config. This is all fine locally but in the client environment where allowAdminChanges is set to false this won't save and I get the following error:
 Changes to the project config are not possible while in read-only mode.

I have tried both Craft::$app->projectConfig->set('my-module', $settings); and Craft::$app->getSystemSettings()->saveSettings('mud-module', $settings) with same ersponse.
Is there a way to update config when allowAdminChanges is set to 0/false?
