Description Eric Rich 2016-04-04 18:45:50 UTC 
Description of problem:

When creating an application from the console (using the uri below), its unclear how to set or use the 'context dir': 

console/project/<project>/create/fromimage?imageName=jboss-webserver30-tomcat7-openshift&imageTag=1.2&namespace=openshift

I feel this is unclear, because the example we provide (with the 'Try it' button), while it fill in what you need with the advanced settings, it does not show you the advanced settings, when the link is clicked. 

Sample repository for jboss-webserver30-tomcat7-openshift: https://github.com/jboss-openshift/openshift-quickstarts.git, context dir: tomcat-websocket-chat 
Try it

This leave the impression that the 'uri' is the only thing that you need, or that you should copy past the "text" (above) into the URI space when creating an application.

This was fixed for the non-modal create/fromimage page with https://github.com/openshift/origin-web-console/commit/b813cb829f9f55ae838c984a9499dc2869291dd6.

I will PR a separate fix for the modal create/fromimage.
Comment 2 Robb Hamilton 2018-01-03 14:41:34 UTC 
To clarify my previous point, the bug as filed is fixed.  However, the bug was reintroduced with the 3.7 release as the catalog's modal create/fromimage form is a different form than the non-modal create/fromimage page and does not contain the fix.  spadgett is going to pick up the bug with the intention of eliminating the separate forms so the behavior is consistent in both.
