Hello
When creating a Web Service, the URI is embedded in the configuration and cannot be set with a System Setting like the values of the request parameters.
Usually the endpoints of the customer to integrate are located in "production" and "test" environments.
In Creatio if we need to integrate with the customer's web services we need two web service object: one for "test" and one for "production".
Why don't you allow the Web service configuration to set the URI with a System Setting thus there can be only one Web service object that automatically "points" to the proper customer's environment just changing the related system setting?
Thanks
Do you like this idea?
I completely agree. When using web services, the username and password (or API key etc) is already stored in the system settings. I would love for the setup/config instructions to only have one place users need to go to set up the values (in the system settings). As it is now, users have to go to the system settings to add those values, but then to the web services to add the URL.

Hello Ryan
If the web service is part of a package we create and deploy for our customer, the Web Service is "read-only" on the customer's platform then it's not possible to change the URL. That's why I'm asking to let this field to be set also from System Settings and not only manually.

It is still possible to change the URL of the web service, even if the web service is located in a locked/installed package. That is the one value it allows changing.
