Hello Max,
Thanks for all the help till now. I am currently facing an issue with Rest POST method and also had some concerns regarding the UI components. They are as follows:
REST POST:

• I want to configure a REST POST to add a new custom object entry.
  Setting: URL - {instance_url}/services/data/v27.0/sobjects/customObjectc/
  Method: POST, Data type and content type: JSON
  Request: Authorization (set as a header), instance_url, and 2 custom fields
  And, I end up getting 'No such column 'instance_url' on sobject of type customObjectc'

  GUI issues:

• I am not able to find any way to set x, y co-ordinates and dimensions of my UI components. CSS modification is certainly a way but still wanted to confirm if I am missing out on anything.

• I have a form where I put text-area immediately below a drop down, one has rounded corners and the other one has squared corners. Is there any way through configuration that I make the corners look-alike?

• Nav-bar flexibility: I found it difficult to resize the nav-bars as I wanted. Is there any way you will incorporate mouse-dragging for resizing the shape of the components?

  I look forward to the reply. Thanks again

Let's try one issue at a time.

Where is the instance_url coming from? Is it coming form Settings service? If yes, is it set in the service?

Hey Max, No, I am not using Setting Services. instance_url and the token are my local variables

Does it work if you pre-set the URL directly in the service?

You can create REST Settings from "Create new"-"Service"-"Settings (REST settings)". Add here any params, that you'll use as {param_name}. They can be set later as usual through maping query parameters.

You can't set x,y coordinates and dimensions in Appery UI

Use css attribute border-radius: 0px; to set squared corners or border-radius: 10px; to set rounded;

Hey Max,
Yes, it works when hardcode the url instead of the local variable. Surprisingly, with other GET service I have created {instance_url} is working fine. It will be nice if you will be able to justify.

Thanks Sergiy for your reply. Do you plan to add any additional elements or facilities in your UI editor?

If it works with hard coded URL, check that the value from local storage gets set into the URL.

Which UI components would you like added?

Hello Max, thanks for the reply.
I would like to see following features being added:

• a way to set x, y co-ordinates and dimensions of the UI
• mouse dragging /lifting to change the dimensions and positions of the components (currently, I think I just can change grids)
• flexible tabs
