Description of problem: I miss autocompletion feature on all form text inputs. For example it is common to have similar IP adresses for hosts, so it would be easier to use already entered IPs and change only last few digits. And also names for hosts and VMs can be similar. In login form the autocompletion works, but then in admin portal doesn't (any editing form).
Several input boxes have type ahead (e.g. In Edit VM). You need to specify where exactly you miss it and likely open a bug per vertical
I see, but type ahead is not exactly what I meant. It gives you only the values that already are saved in the database, but browsers have feature for html forms and they give you values that you already have typed in before for the same input name. Is it possible to have the UI forms as really html forms?
Hm..dunno. I don't think we use it anywhere. Alex, any idea?
@Michal, I am not entirely sure how the browser decides to save certain values as a group, but I suspect that it groups them based on the <form> tag. Basically stuff that is in a form tag get saved by the browser in some type of local storage. The problem with that for our application is that 'submitting' the form is a round trip to the server and then the server sends back the result, while we have a single page application that stores its state in memory. So we can't do a simple form submit like other applications. Now there might be a way to get a similar effect but I would have to do some research on how to achieve this.
Thanks Alex, if it's not easily doable then I don't think we should do that. It's a nice to have RFE and it might be that due to our technical limitations it's not really feasible. Thank you for analysis. Lucko, I'd close this WONTFIX, or CANTFIX, as you prefer. We can keep it open but I think it's unlikely to happen in the current GUI
OK
closing as unfeasible with our current gui infra
