Description Greg Hinkle 2008-09-04 18:42:00 UTC 
This is an additional set of improvements that didn't make it into the first version of the wizard.



4) "expression type" drop-down always makes the first expression "resource.type.name = Apache HTTP Server", it should either be null until one is selected or it should default to the first item in the "resource type" drop-down that gets generated after selecting the appropriate plugin

5) enablement / disablement options
5a) when "resource type" drop-down is an empty list, replace it with the printed message "there are no types defined by the selected plugin"
5b) when "property names" drop-down is an empty list, replace it with the printed message "there are no properties defined by the selected type"

6) user intuitiveness - similar to, but more direct than enablement / disablement options
6a) maybe only populate the "defining plugin" / "resource type" drop-downs with elements that are known to have resource types that have properties - this would be a complete replacement for options 5a & 5b
Comment 1 Joseph Marques 2008-12-25 11:55:08 UTC 
rev2545 - dynagroup expression builder improvements for items 5a & 5b

example for 5a) Resource > Resource Type > Database > "None defined for selected plugin" > "No type selected"
example for 5b) Resource > Resource Type > Apache > Apache HTTP Server > "None defined for selected type"
Comment 2 Joseph Marques 2008-12-25 12:06:16 UTC 
#4 does not seem to be an issue anymore.  although Apache/Apache HTTP Server combo is the default value (but is readonly), the definition plugin and resource type drop-downs seems to properly "stick" to their previously selected values as various other combinations of elements are selected around them.
