Created attachment 1542819 [details] VM source of clone and its VM cloned Enhancement request: to allow a VM source of clone with a Title set and its VM cloned to be distinguished ones from the others under View Manager. Version-Release number of component: virt-manager.noarch 2.1.0-1.fc29 @updates Steps to Reproduce: 1. Choose a VM then under Machine Details ==> Overview, at Title set a title, at Description set a description; 2. Clone that VM; 3. Switch to View Manager then run or not the VM source of clone and its VM cloned. Observations: As intended the VM source of clone and its VM cloned have in common attributes related to Title – here "PXE" – and Description – here "PXE HTTPS" –. In View Manager, only those attributes are reported, therefore information exhibited are common beyond those VMs and then VMs cannot be distinguished ones from the others. Suggestion: In order to solve that state, Name as mentioned under Virtual Machine Details ==> Overview could be added as new attribute as part of that existing exhibited attributes set.
Good catch. I think we should just strip the title field entirely, the user can choose to set a new one or not if they want.
