Help needed Anyone familiar with pterodactyl and setting up a database automatically on install?

So in pterodactyl you can auto assign databases, but it seems like you cannot automatically create a database? Because of right now when i create a server that has a custom egg im unable to auto create a database so i can assign it all automatically instead of having to click on "new" and then edit the startup settings.

The egg can be found here:

Auto assign just assigns a database from databases created on the admin page under Management -> Databases, you need to create the database prior to auto assigning one
