josh-fell opened a new issue #17235: URL: https://github.com/apache/airflow/issues/17235
**Apache Airflow version**: 2.1.0 **What happened**: There are several hooks that still use optional parameters from the classic `Extra` field. However, when creating the connection the `Extra` field is overwritten with values from the custom fields that are included in the form. Because the `Extra` field is overwritten, these optional parameters cannot be used by the hook. For example, in the `AzureDataFactoryHook`, If `resource_group_name` or `factory_name` are not provided when initializing the hook, it defaults to the value specified in the connection extras. Using the Azure Data Factory connection form, here is the initial connection submission:  After saving the connection, the `Extra` field is overwritten with the custom fields that use "extras" under the hood:  **What you expected to happen**: Wavering slightly but I would have initially expected that the `Extra` field wasn't overwritten but updated with both the custom field "extras" plus the originally configured values in the `Extra` field. However, a better UX would be that the values used in the `Extra` field should be separate custom fields for these hooks and the `Extra` field is hidden. Perhaps it's even both? **How to reproduce it**: install either the Microsoft Azure or Snowflake providers, attempt to create a connection for either the Snowflake, Azure Data Factory, Azure Container Volume, or Azure types with the `Extra` field populated prior to saving the form. **Anything else we need to know**: Happy to submit PRs to fix this issue. 🚀 -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
