In HCL Leap, when configuring a Workflow for a form, if we need to invoke a service, we currently have to create a new service from within the Workflow configuration.
However, HCL Leap already provides a Services section where services can be created and maintained. It would be useful if existing services created under the Services section could be directly selected and reused within a Workflow instead of requiring developers to create the same service again.
Proposed Enhancement
Provide an option in the Workflow service configuration to:
Select an existing service from the application's Services section.
Reuse the selected service directly within the workflow.
Display available services along with their operations/actions.
Allow the workflow to map inputs and outputs to the existing service.
Maintain a single service definition that can be reused across multiple workflows.
Example
If an application already has a service such as:
Services → UserManagementService → GetUserDetails
When configuring a workflow, instead of creating a new service again, the developer should be able to select:
Workflow → Service → Use Existing Service → UserManagementService → GetUserDetails
This would follow a "Create Once, Reuse Anywhere" approach.
Benefits
Avoids creating duplicate services.
Reduces development and maintenance effort.
Promotes service reusability across multiple workflows.
Ensures changes to a common service can be centrally maintained.
Improves consistency across the application.
Makes application development more modular and maintainable.
