> Most connection types can be created purely from the Airflow UI. Google Cloud Platform connections do not support this, because they require a JSON file to be present on disk. This is awkward for users who only have UI access (i.e. no direct access to the server's file system) because it requires coordination with a system administrator to add or update a connection.
> I have prototyped a workaround which allows pasting the JSON file *contents* into the key_path field. It works, but probably needs some additional thought since it is potentially confusing entering something that is not a path into that field.
