Can you mention the use case for the suggested feature? The current implementation is, if the globalConfig file is present, the UI for the add-on should be visible by default, making it redundant to include a separate is_visible attribute in globalConfig.

[Benni0]

Sure, we use the UCC framework as main build pipeline for our Splunk apps. The specific use-case is an app which only contains some alert actions which doesn't require additional setup or configuration.

Please also add that change in this file (front-end global config validation) to keep it consistent .
https://github.com/splunk/addonfactory-ucc-generator/blob/develop/ui/src/types/globalConfig/meta.ts
simple

    isVisible: z.boolean().default(true).optional(),

should work

[Benni0]

I've added it to meta.ts as suggested.

Hi,
the scan found a type incompatibility which should not happen, as it is checked if isVisible is set before. To solve this issue I changed the assignment to:

    if global_config:
        should_be_visible = global_config.meta.get("isVisible", True)

This implementation is shorter and should avoid this problem.

@Benni0 Closing this PR as the pipeline is failing due to missing gpg_private_key required for a couple of steps. Created a PR #1345 having the same changes.
