default collation_connection

[Alejandro Contreras Sanchez]

Hi everyone.

Recently changed the DB server collation from utf8mb4_general_ci to utf8mb4_unicode_ci, however, when accessing the DB via a workbench connection I get this:
collation_connection = utf8mb4_general_ci
collation_database = utf8mb4_unicode_ci
collation_server = utf8mb4_unicode_ci

It correctly receives everything from the server, however, it keeps the utf8mb4_general_ci.

This is corrected by running this: SET NAMES utf8mb4 COLLATE utf8mb4_unicode_ci;
What I need is to avoid this execution every time I open a new connection, as it is possible that I forget to execute this query and when interacting with the DB it is very possible to generate errors.
I have the version 8.0.41 build 4802116 CE
I have already tried to modify the option Manage Server Connections>“My connection”>Advanced>Others = sessionVariables=collation_connection=utf8mb4_unicode_ci

But this has had no effect.
Do you know how I can solve this and leave by default this collation utf8mb4_unicode_ci?
