Sorry, I am not sure I follow. Imported layers are only those manually imported by "regular" Toaster users. Layer sources are created by the person setting up the Toaster instance, and should be given a proper, meaningful name. I would expect second and third party layers to be set up as layer sources (with their own source names). Customers might decide to set up their layers as a layer source (if they have many), or ask developers to import them manually (if they have only a couple of them). When would be this "optional" source value be used? Would it be selected by "regular" users? Thanks!
