Did you add the plugin name in here?

Hi NaveenKumar - I apologize in advance if this is a silly question, I am not understanding how to update the source code ENV JMETER_PLUGIN_INSTALL_LIST "jpgc-udp,jpgc-graphs-basic" to reference additional jmeter plugins where it is available for my GitHub actions. I assume I am not creating a branch in https://github.com/QAInsights/PerfAction to add the additional jmeter plugin ids. When I reference QAInsights/PerfAction@v5.6.2 in my GitHub action, do i have a copy of the source code in my repo that I am updating? Do I specify a JMETER_PLUGIN_INSTALL_LIST environment variable in my repo that will override the JMETER_PLUGIN_INSTALL_LIST?

@QAInsights Do I need to add the name of the plugin in the docker file where you mentioned and create a pull request? In that case I dont have write access permission in the repo. Kindly let me know what can be done.
