Description Matt Reid 2014-06-13 19:42:51 UTC
Description of problem:
It might save users potentially a lot of time if instead of only offering an INGRESS and an EGRESS direction, if they could specify a BOTH direction. Whenever someone needs to enter both an ingress and egress rule for the same port they have to enter it twice, remembering all of the information they need (since it can't be cloned). If they forget to flip the direction the second time from the default value, it'll error out as a duplicate and they'll have to try a third time. If they messed up the second rule, there's no edit, so they would have to delete it if they got a value wrong and do it all over again.

It would be awesome if the UI allowed for specifying both an ingress and egress rule at the same time, even if all it did was create the ingress and egress rows and put them in the table, at least they'd be guaranteed to have the same configuration.

Additional info:
I think this is a nova/neutron limitation, and therefore horizon doesn't offer it, but I'm not sure how to specify multiple components...

Abandoned upstream, as no usecase has been shown for this.
