QlikSense Rest Connector select data issue

I made a connection to a REST API of an affiliate partner.  I managed to get orders which need to be accepted or rejected.

But then I need to create a connection to send transactions back to the affiliate partner with the new status. I've managed to create the connection. But since the connection apparently (on saving) also sends the request I'm not able to  "select data" and insert the script in QlikSense since the transaction already had a status change. At least I think the issue cause I keep seeing this screen (see attached) no matter how long I wait.

Any idea how to solve this issue? How can I get my script/code in QlikSense?

If you are using Qlik Sense Enterprise, consider the following work-around:

  1. Create the REST connection pointing to a test / unused transaction
  2. In Qlik Sense QMC > Data connections, edit the REST connector you just created. The connection string should show CUSTOM CONNECT TO "provider=QvRestConnector.exe;url=https://....;...:" . Edit the connection string and change url parameter to the actual transaction you want to  load. Apply the change.
  3. In Qlik Sense Hub, you should be able to select data now
