Description Logan Kuhn 2017-03-13 16:07:55 UTC

Description of problem:
Currently when creating a new VM it defaults to basic which is a very basic set of settings and is probably fine for ephemeral VMs, but it would be useful to make it default on a user or global level to set the advanced view as the default view.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
4.0.6.3

It already stores the current state of the 'advanced' setting in your browser. So if you click advanced once and then come back later it will read the last state from the browser storage and return to that state. Obviously if you have some environment that auto clears that, it won't help you, or switching browsers it won't help you either.

Comment 2 Logan Kuhn 2017-03-13 18:51:43 UTC

Yep, close this.  I must have something doing this because a machine not mine doesn't have this problem.

Comment 3 Alexander Wels 2017-03-13 18:57:22 UTC

Well there is definitely some value in stored these kinds of preferences in lets say the database so its the same across different browsers for the same user. Or globally like you said. I just wanted to give you some potential short term fix for you.

Comment 4 Logan Kuhn 2017-03-13 18:58:52 UTC

I'll reopen then.

I appreciate it.

This was brought up several times that we may want to create a per-user server-side storage for various settings (confirmation dialogs "do not show again",console connection options, etc)
I would suggest to work on this with infra to provide a general mechanism

Comment 6 Greg Sheremeta 2018-10-10 15:34:52 UTC

Unfortunately we don't have capacity to work on this.
