Description

In the Coordinates Tab of /configure under the Projection Setup subheading, the "Path to Basemap tilemapresource.xml or ArcGIS MapServer" field is duplicated twice. It should only appear once.

In addition, the Projection Setup subheading should include a description or some graphical/UI way to better indicate that these are just helper actions to help admins quickly set up the above projection fields. The issue now is that quite a few admins believe that, say, the TileMatrixSet needs to be set properly and influences the config (again, it's just a field so that an admin can use the convenient actions buttons to the right of it.)

Research direction

Start at the /configure Coordinates Tab and inspect the Projection Setup UI. Confirm the Path to Basemap tilemapresource.xml or ArcGIS MapServer field appears only once, then improve the subheading's description or graphical/UI guidance so admins understand the helper actions and fields are for setup assistance; verify both changes in the UI.
