Description of problem:
Edit template dialogue shows a field: "Based on Template", it always shows the name of the template itself (it's not clear what kind of useful info is supplied to the user here)


Version-Release number of selected component:
rhevm-4.0.4.3-0.1.el7ev.noarch

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to: webadmin -> Templates tab
2. Mark a template, click "Edit"

Actual results:
There is a field displayed, "Based on Template", value is always the name of the template (and it's all greyed out - which is ok)

Expected results:
This field actually doesn't supply the user any useful information, it's just always the name of the template itself, so removing it will be a reasonable solution.

Additional info:
When trying to edit Blank template, this field is not displayed.

didn't get to it in 4.1 nor in 4.2

Comment 2 Ryan Barry 2019-01-03 12:49:49 UTC
This will not be addressed in a reasonable timeframe. Please re-open if it's still important.
