In the admin interface, if i create a server template and make a VM out of it i get a Clone/Independent VM. If i use a dekstop template a get a Thin/Dependent
In the VM portal i only get Thin/Dependent.
How can i change this so that it's always Clone/Dependent for certain templates?
The default setting should depend on Optimized for: Desktop/Server on
the template. So when it creates Thin/Dependent VM for Server
template, I think that is a bug.
I created an issue. Thank you for bringing that up.

Ok, yes that would make sense.
Any ideas where i can look to change this manually as a temp work around?
When you use template with disk on a storage that doesn't support sparsify, then it will not create thin disk on it. But I'm not sure how exactly that works.What ovirt version you have? I've found some BZ with problem creating raw disks from template, that should be fixed in 4.3.https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1471138
People always confuse two things - that bug talks about how the new disk will be written - which format and if it’s sparse or not depends on the format capabilities (comment 13), but the setting you see when creating a VM is about something else - you either keep a link to the original template disk or you make a completely separate clone. It’s limited by the format too, so e.g. for RAW the former option is not really possible
