Apps manager fails to display additional configuration parameters during service instance creation

Products

• VMware Tanzu Application Service

Issue/Introduction

When you attempt to create a service instance in Apps Manager after upgrading to VMware Tanzu Application Service (TAS) 10.2.10, you notice the following issues:

• Additional configuration parameters for data services are no longer displayed in the UI.
• The custom fields are replaced by a single, mandatory JSON input field.
• The Create button is unresponsive until you manually enter `{}` or another valid JSON structure into the field.

Environment

• VMware Tanzu Application Service (TAS) 10.2.10
• push-apps-manager-release v677.0.94

Cause

A change introduced in push-apps-manager-release v677.0.94, intended to allow for more custom valid broker schemas, inadvertently removed the backward compatibility for the configuration fields and introduced a requirement for manual JSON input.

Resolution

You must update your environment to the May 2026 patch release (or later) of Tanzu Application Service to restore full functionality. 

In the updated release, the following improvements are available:
1.  Restored Toggle: You can once again switch between individual configuration fields and raw JSON input.
2.  Pre-filled JSON: The raw JSON input field is now pre-filled with '{}' by default, ensuring the Create button works immediately without manual text entry.
