Description

In the AWS console when you authenticate using Cognito User Pools it asks you to enter the ClientId. Would it be possible to change this from a text field to a dropdown with a list of app clients to choose from?

I spend a lot of time in the AppSync console and every time I want to login I need to go to the Cognito User Pools console just to find this value.

Also, could the console also use the refresh token to keep the session going so I don't need to login every hour?

Research direction

Start with the AppSync console login flow and its Cognito User Pools integration described in the issue. Determine how app clients could populate a selector and how refresh-token session renewal would work; done means users can choose an app client without looking up its ID and remain authenticated beyond the current hourly session.
