The Advanced Connection Settings panel in the MSSQL extension needs an updated layout to make it simpler and more intuitive. The changes should include:
Search Settings: Add a "Search settings" textbox at the top.
General Category: Introduce a new top category called General (for core settings) that is expanded by default but can be collapsed.
Connection Type Visibility: Move Connection Type (Application intent) under General and display it more prominently with radio buttons for “Read & Write Mode (Default)” vs. “Read-Only Mode.”
Restructure Categories: Reorganize the remaining settings to be more intuitive (e.g., combine Failover & Replication, remove the Database Initialization category).
Below is a reference screenshot (example of how the collapsed/expanded sections might appear):
