Add option to hide "Browse Resources" button on FME Server App. It confuses some users and there aren't usually any files users need to access in the resources. We prefer to design the input parameters on our apps as simple as possible to avoid overwhelming users with too many input fields and options. Minimizing the upload functionality to only one one button will certainly make the input apps more compact and easy for users to use.

We have the exact opposite need, the possibility to hide the "Upload File" button, because it is confusing our users.

It should not be possible to click the 'Ok' button until the upload is 100%, and it should not be possible to change the filename.

Commenting on this as this question: 

 is closed.

Can we please get an update on enhancement FMESERVER-17378 I think that this would be very useful to be able to customize that interface and disable the various different options.

Thanks,

Marc

Being able to disable either the “Browse resources” or the “Upload file” would be very useful. I have scenario’s/webapps for both cases, so adding configuration for this would be very beneficial.

In FME 2025.2 (BETA) it is possible to configure "Dynamic Parameters Configuration" and "Enable URL-Based Configuration". 

The new functionality can increace use of APPs in general, and confusion about  “Browse resources” or “Upload file” should be removed. Especially since the “browse file system” is written in small text. (“Browse Resources” is not relevant in any of our use cases).
