The web connection/webservice features have been around for a few years and it needs some improvement in the UX, especially to help new users. Here’s a few suggestions:
1. once a web service is created by a user, services, templates and connections are all mixed up in the drop downs or that long list of templates and web services. Some type of separation or categories between user created services from web services templates either on the long list in FME options or the drop downs in the connectors.
2. The Add Web Connection drop down from the transformers is confusing to new users, when the web connection is not a simple token or key or the web service is not created yet.
3. On the MCP Caller (Beta) web connection from FME Options, I have to type the MCP URL and API key three times before I can use it. Once the URL is configured from the template ans applied. Once applied, the URL should persist in the drop down when I Test the web service and create with Add my Web Connection.
