[SOLVED] Can't create node function from console

For some reason after the 1.4.2 update i cannot simply create a nodejs runtime function through the console. The only availiable runtimes can be seen below in the picture. Also the template-starter page presents 5 different runtimes(including node-18), but when using the CLI to init functions(because the console doesnt work), i can only pick node-16 runtime.

TL;DR
User is encountering an issue when trying to create a node function from the console. They tried updating the function runtime in the function settings and it seemed to work, but then the appwrite console broke with a gateway timeout. User found a solution in a GitHub thread and needs to update the .env file. They also discovered a Discord thread mentioning the need to enable node-18. User wants to know if they should change the value of `_APP_FUNCTIONS_RUNTIMES` in the .env file to `node-18.0`.

Weird 🤔 Can you pls open your .env file and provide me with your value for _APP_FUNCTIONS_RUNTIMES? That might give me some direction towards finding the bug

Checked some other issues: https://discord.com/channels/564160730845151244/1147311089135132703/1147320828791365663 Says one needs to enable node-18. Should _APP_FUNCTIONS_RUNTIMES be changed to node-18.0 instead? _APP_FUNCTIONS_RUNTIMES=node-16.0,php-8.0,python-3.9,ruby-3.0

Ah. I found it here: https://github.com/appwrite/appwrite/discussions/4826. Have to update the .env.

I jumped the gun, after changing the .env, the appwrite console breaks. I get gateway timeout

Okay, it seems to work now. However i have an existing function created with node-16.0 runtime. How can i update this to use node-18.0 instead, so i dont have to delete it?

You'll have to recreate to use the new function syntax. otherwise you can try to update the function runtime in the function settings
