Doc Type: Enhancement
Doc Text:
When creating a virtual machine from a template, the user is able to choose the format of the disks: either RAW or QCOW2. The Allocation Policy section is now hidden. If the Template Provisioning is Thin, the format of the disks will be marked as QCOW2 and the user won't be able to change it. If the Template Provisioning is Clone, the user will be able to select either QCOW2 or RAW.

Comment 3 Yaniv Kaul 2016-03-03 14:56:33 UTC 
Isn't it exactly the opposite of bug 1097843 ?

No.
The format I(QCOW vs. raw) is something an admin can make an informed decision about. Thew allocation policy is a fallacy, as it's completely coupled to the combination of foramt+storage type.
Comment 5 Elad 2016-07-13 14:17:23 UTC 
Executed the feature basic flows after setup upgrade (3.6 -> 4.0):

Tested using Webadmin, All passed. 

Note that for REST API, we're still block due to:

Tested using:
rhevm-4.0.0.6-0.1.el7ev.noarch
vdsm-4.18.4-2.el7ev.x86_64
