community.general.nmcli routesX parameter can only manage all routes of a connection name

[hseuss]

Summary

I am trying to add or delete single routes from my connection "eth0" on my server with the nmcli module.
Unfortunately currently this module only is capable of managing all routes for a particular connection.
It would be very benefitial to be able to manage single routes which will be added / deleted to the connection too without touching the already exsiting routes.
From a user point of view this requirement makes sense, as sometimes you want only to control routes partially instead of full.

Issue Type

Feature Idea

Component Name

nmcli

Additional Information

With that command I can add a route to the existing routes:

nmcli connection modify <connection name> -ipv4.routes "<network>/<network mask> <gateway>"

I can imagine that a parameter could trigger this behaviour: routes_append
default: false
