The Instructure Product Team is working on implementing a better solution to collect your feedback. Read Shiren's blog for more information.
There are many configuration parameters for LTIs (see the external tools API docs) that are only available to change/edit through either the API or through editing XML (LTI 1.0/1.11) / JSON (LTI 1.3). While this might be ok for initial installation of an LTI, it makes modifying a configuration very hard. Making changes through the API often has unintended consequences (changing one parameter might erase/change others, hardly any documentation around this exists).
I propose that *all* settings for an LTI be exposed and configurable through the Canvas UI. LTI 1.3 seems to be a bit better in this respect than 1.1, but there are still things not available in the UI (default placement for a course navigation item, for example). Exposing everything in the UI with all options obviously displayed and able to be easily changed would really help admins out.
