Esb Editor resets Sequence Template Parameters Attributes

[gspadotto]

Description

When you open a Sequence Template with parameters that are mandatory, Esb Editor resets them to NOT mandatory with an empty string default value.

This is unfortunate because you risk to change the Sequence Templates without even realizing it.

This is an issue that is present since at least early 2022.

See:
#998
#1005 (Did not fix the issue)
wso2/api-manager#630

Steps to Reproduce

Create a new Sequence Template, in the source panel add mandatory parameters and save it:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<template xmlns="http://ws.apache.org/ns/synapse" name="ExampleTemplateWithMandatoryParameters">
    <parameter isMandatory="true" name="myMandatoryParameter"/>
    <sequence>
       <log level="simple">
           <property name="myMandatoryParameter" expression="$func:myMandatoryParameter"/>
       </log>
    </sequence>
</template>

Now open the Sequence Template with the graphical Esb Editor, switch to the source panel, the parameters have all the
defaultValue="" isMandatory="false" attributes:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<template name="ExampleTemplateWithMandatoryParameters" xmlns="http://ws.apache.org/ns/synapse">
    <parameter defaultValue="" isMandatory="false" name="myMandatoryParameter"/>
    <sequence>
        <log>
            <property expression="$func:myMandatoryParameter" name="myMandatoryParameter"/>
        </log>
    </sequence>
</template>
