Improving Identify UX making some parameters configurable from UI #12593

Description

Description

At the moment certain key parameters of the Identify request (WMS GetFeatureinfo) are hardcoded or totally missing. In particular we have:

  • feature_count: always set to 10 (this value should remain anyway the default)
  • buffer (GeoServer's vendor param): missing (online doc here)

We should improve the UX by including the possibility to configure these options both at Catalog tool level (a dedicated section in the form would be clearer, I think) and Layer Settings (Feature Info section I would say) in line with the current logic.

In MS we have the concept of server type (see Catalog tool):
Image

which means that the buffer option should be available only if the server type is GeoServer.

What kind of improvement you want to add? (check one with "x", remove the others)

  • Minor changes to existing features
  • Code style update (formatting, local variables)
  • Refactoring (no functional changes, no api changes)
  • Build related changes
  • CI related changes
  • Other... Please describe:
