Need to specify change for firmwares without writable nvram. Without external bootloader, manual setup leads to bootloop.

Feature Request: Allow this option to be read from a text file or configuration file.

veracrypt/Veracrypt-dcs/DcsBoot/DcsBoot.c

line 28: CHAR16 *gEfiExecCmdDefault = L"\EFI\Microsoft\Boot\Bootmgfw.efi";

ex: installing ubuntu requires renaming ubuntu efi boot file in \EFI\Microsoft\Boot\Bootmgfw.efi , to allow to boot ubuntu, then chaning bootmgfw.efi to a different directory so ubuntu grub can load windows. FDE on these systems does not "work" without manually loading the veracrypt EFI file each time, and will fail preboot test, unless user intervene's and selects proper boot file for verqcrypt EFI loader.

It's a bit late, but have you tried changing the DcsProp file on the external bootloader? It should allow you to specify the file() to boot into under the ActionSuccess property.

Sadly this file doesn't seem to be documented, like at all. I've only found out about it through various unrelated forum posts and checking the files on the EFI partition myself.
