Hello,
If my understanding is correct you would like to be able to go to "Menu > Management Console > Data content > Data connection" and then export connection details, so you could be able to import again.
In that case, it seems that your use case scenario is not supported at the moment. For example you can check the official documentation page "Managing data connections" [1] and there you will see that you have the options to:
- Moving data connections
- Ownership when moving data connections
- Deleting data connections
- etc.
Also you can see that I have a couple of connection setup:
And the only options are:
As you can see, there are not any options to export the details of the connection in the Management Console nor when you actually create the connection. I would recommend to open a feature request [2] and elaborate in detail as to why this option would be beneficial for you and other users.
As a workaround, instead of taking screenshots, perhaps you can create a MS Office Document and copy paste all the configurations to have it as a template. Then for every REST connection that you make, you can duplicate the template document and fill in the details with different color to better distinguish them later.
I hope that this information was helpful. In case I have misunderstood the use case scenario, please elaborate in details by providing additional information. However, if it has helped you resolve the issue, addressed your concerns or at least pointed you in the right direction, please mark it as Accepted Solution to give further visibility to other community members.
