Will the next version of APEX have more convenient features?

I hope to add convenient features such as dropdown menus in APEX. With too many nodes and various callbacks requiring precise input, it takes too long to create simple rigs now. Creating complex rigs will be even more challenging. I have high hopes for APEX and also hope that SideFX can update more tutorials, as there are still too few channels for in-depth understanding.

Dropdown menus where and for what purpose? The need for more tutorials is very well understood but we're holding off a little bit as we refine the feature set or else they will quickly go out of date. One thing for sure is adding a lot more auto rigging components so that simplify building common rigs.

Thank you for your response~
I eagerly looking forward to the next version of APEX and the accompanying tutorials.
Given the current stringent process based on strings, I wonder if features like dropdown menus or smart search could be implemented to streamline user input, allowing for quicker experimentation with rig logic.
Any simplification efforts (without compromising flexibility) would be greatly appreciated as optimization.

Are you referring to string parameters on APEX nodes? Or somewhere else?
I believe so. Many input port require rename, callbacks, TransformObject names, etc. It might not be easy to check these back, and I find it difficult to locate where errors in strings occur. Once I have more links, it will be easier to expose issues. I need to be very cautious and slow.
Or if error messages could indicate a Mismatched string or stream data locations, that would be nice too.
