Description:
If a user adds two widgets to the dashboard and tries to make them work
there will be no response. To make this happen, the user has to go the
wiring map and make the corresponding connections betweens widgets.
Thus, every modification made on a widget will affect the rest of the
widgets connected to it.
It would be helpful if a hint messages tells the user how to make the
connections between widgets.
How to replicate:
1. Log in
2. Go to Store
3. Acquire some widgets
4. Go to Mashup
5. Add some widgets
6. Try play with them
7. Go to wiring map and do connections

We agree in the option you have provided.
Adding new features to the Application Mashup GE to let widgets know if they are connected or not, will a great idea.
Thank you

As agreed, new items (features, user stories, ...) are going to be created and added to the RoadMap. I will link them to this issue after creating them in Jira.

The problem here is that there are some widgets that can be used without connecting them to other widgets/operators. Thus the general solution is not trivial. Probably the best option is to add new features to the Application Mashup GE to let widgets know if they are connected or not and display a message if something is wrong (some endpoint not connected).
Regarding the hint message for connecting widgets/operators, there is currently a mechanism for recommending connections based in what is called friendcode. Is up to the developers to provided the required information for this mechanism to work. See [1] for an example from the end user perspective, developers also have documentation on how to make this mechanism work.
