Multiple options in custom connector configuration - connector

As answered in multiple options for a community connector configuration in Google Data Studio, it seem no possible this.
As far as we can see now, for connectors like Adwords, DCM and Google Sheets the configuration is dynamic (updating configuration values based on something already selected in the configuration).
Anybody have any clue on how this is being done?
Thanks in advance

Update (2020/05/05): This can now be achieved through Stepped configuration in Community Connectors.
Original: Adwords, DCM, and Google Sheets are native connectors in Data Studio. Community Connectors are implemented differently using Apps Scripts and thus have limited functionality compared to some native connectors.
That said, if you would benefit from this feature, please submit a feature request / vote for it.

One project two google analytics ids

Following this
question I want to ask one more clarification:
I have a project. An application that I host on two different machines with two different domains for two different clients.
I have two applications registered in the Google Analytics portal.
Can I add the both tags as explained in the linked question and will I get data for the different application depending on which server I have hosted the app or, no matter the client, if I log into the first system, i will be registered on the second as well?
I am asking as the project is already build and packaged when I do the differentiation which goes to which server and am looking for quicker solution.
A quicker solution would be using one GA property for tracking all your applications and having a user-level custom dimension there indicating which application it is.
An alternative, would be using N properties each for its own application and then use a rollup property: https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/6096167?hl=en
Your case doesn't sound like a case justifying using two properties at the same time on each of the apps. Please elaborate your case better if you still believe you have to use double tracking. Double tracking is a brutish solution and there are almost always more elegant solutions.

DTAP storing script variables in a simple and fast way

I am setting up a DTAP environment for Google App Maker. Google App Maker enables working in a singe file very well, however there is one use case that I would like to simplify.
For each deployment I need to "know" certain things in the back end script. Things like the ip address of the SQL server, or usernames and passwords. This information needs to be retrieved fast and often, given the stateless nature of google.script.run.
The best solution so far is a settings form, combined with google drive tables and caching. This works, but it is not simple, and things could fail easily. The other approach is hard coded and linked to the deployment url. This is fast and simple, but also means that all the credentials are in the source.
I am looking for a better solution. Apps Script used to have the script properties. Is there a similar option in App Maker, with a UI to maintain the settings.
There is no built-in UI to manage script properties, but App Maker's runtime (Apps Script) provides API to perform CRUD operations on it:
PropertiesService.getScriptProperties().setProperty('testKey', 'testValue');
...and you can 'easily' build the UI on top of this API. In answer for this question are highlighted major steps to achieve this: Google App Maker how to create Data Source from Google Contacts

Integrating Google Docs Drawing into Alfresco

Alfresco is integrated with Google Docs, so that Alfresco users can easily create or edit a document/spreadsheet/presentation using Google's online editors:
For images, it sounds like Google Drawings could be used.
How to allow Alfresco users to create/edit PNG/etc graphic files from Alfresco, by using Google Docs?
is it just a matter of activating the menu item in some configuration file, or would it require me to implement the feature (probably by looking at the source code for Google Documents), or is it downright impossible due to some technical difficulty I have not thought about?
That is not one of the available integrations, but I guess you can write that yourself, as the repository is now avaible at https://github.com/Alfresco/googledrive

Is there a way to source control Google Stackdriver alerting policies?

https://cloud.google.com/monitoring/alerts/ currently mentions only console based configuration. It would be really helpful if there was a way to define this as a yaml or json, and upload that config to stackdriver
and thanks for using Google Stackdriver!
Currently there is no way to source control alerting policies. We realize the need and are thinking of ways to improve and add similar abilities.

Paypal PayFlow Pro Asp.Net configuration

So, this does not necessarily have to do directly with the code itself, although it is certainly a component of it.
I recently downloaded and installed the PayFlow Pro SDK for use with ASP.net
link here:
https://cms.paypal.com/us/cgi-bin/?cmd=_render-content&content_ID=developer/library_download_sdks
I installed this to my development machine. I also came accross this example code which I figured outlined the primary setup for basic Paypal Credit Card Transaction functionality.
link here:
http://www.codeproject.com/KB/aspnet/PayPal_PayflowPro.aspx
Anyways, I have two main questions
Do I have to install the SDK on the web hosts server in order to utilize the functionality of it? This seems to make sense, however, the tutorial in the second link suggests I create a web reference. Unless I am not understanding something here, wouldn't this just strictly work on my development machine, or at least, the functionality of the remote website that references this web reference to access the sdk, would this not be dependent on my computer running and broadcasting this information?
I just need clarification on how to install and/or access the sdk for use on a remote webhosts server (ie. do i need to install the sdk on the web-hosts server and if so, how would one go about doing so (ie. where to install, how to install)?).
Are there any other clean cut examples like my second link provides, that sort of outline the basic functionality of Payflow Pro? I find paypal's examples numerous and convoluted and their online slides/video tutorials to be tedious.
Perhaps I should just get off my lazy ass, but I have found peers from the general community to be much more informative in a way more efficient manner, so any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
For anyone interested, after enough searching I found a great example that notified me of all the fundamental processes to creating a basic transaction and allowed me the knowledge to further manipulate the sdk.
