Description of problem: In the Admin Portal's "Manage Events" dialog box for the Event Notifier, if a child object is checked, the indicator on the parent object does not change. Usually, in a hierarchical list of checkbox items, if x-1 items are checked (where x is the maximum number of items in a list), there should be an indicator that some, but not all, of the items are checked. The typical indicator for this is a "-" sign. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): rhevm-3.2.1-0.39.el6ev How reproducible: Very Steps to Reproduce: 1. Log in to Admin Portal 2. Click on Users tab 3. Select a user 4. Click on the Event Notifier subtab and select "Manage Events" 5. Locate a list with multiple items such as "Storage Management Events:" 6. Check 2 of the 4 boxes Actual results: The "Storage Management Events:" parent checkbox does not change Expected results: A "-" symbol should appear in the box indicating that some of the child objects are checked, but not all of them.
it seems that GWT 2.5 doesn't support "half checked checkboxes": http://stackoverflow.com/questions/13145672/gwt-checkbox-selectable-tree we can implement it on our own probably, but it will require a lot of work, and I am not sure it is worth it. I am putting it for now on rhevm-future, but this is actually a candidate for "CLOSED WONTFIX".

This can be accomplished with a 'half-checked' checkbox. This is built into HTML via 'indeterminate checkboxes'. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/input/checkbox "A checkbox in the indeterminate state has a horizontal line in the box (it looks somewhat like a hyphen or minus sign) instead of a check/tick in most browsers. There are not many use cases for this property. The most common is when a checkbox is available that "owns" a number of sub-options (which are also checkboxes). If all of the sub-options are checked, the owning checkbox is also checked, and if they're all unchecked, the owning checkbox is unchecked. If any one or more of the sub-options have a different state than the others, the owning checkbox is in the indeterminate state." See also Bug 999783
