Add ability to edit data source properties

i am creating a custom data source that gets data from a URL. we periodically update the URL. i want to be able to edit the data source properties on demand, but not get prompted for it unless i specifically request it. This would be a major usability enhancement for our implementation.

    I think we are on the same page. Currently the options are "All", "Required", or "None". I would like an "OnDemand" option for when everything might be okay and valid, but you just want to change something that you set up. Or just see what you currently have set up.

    Thank you for the idea Jody. Today you need to replace the data source. It's in my diretion to enable you to trigger basically a "reload with prompt" that will bring up your custom UI.
