Resolved How to point domain-attached DB to another instance?

Hi! How do I change the db attached to my domain so that it's the same as the one indicated in my Wordpress site? I already tried changing on Wordpress end and it seems the wrong way.
 
I meant the DB in the popup info in the circled section. I've been looking for hours and could not find a dropdown or text box to input the change.

Navigate to domain > databases. Next to the database name you can assign the database to a website.

@Kaspar there is no domain > databases section on my end or maybe I'm just too dumb to find it. But if I click a specific domain, and click databases, I get this which is also not like yours.Screenshot 2023-11-10 at 8.48.15 PM.png
 
You're on the right page. Click the 'wrench tool' icon, on the right side of the search field and select 'active list' from there. That way you can assign databases to domains.

I often have the case here that users believe that a database must be assigned to a specific domain. It does not. Every domain on the same host can use every database as long as the login credentials are correct. The type of "assignment" done on the screens shown above are for a better user orientation only. Even if a database is assigned to domain A it can be used with domain B.
