Admin console - Always show advanced options

Hi All, When viewing/editing a VM's properties in the admin console is it possible to show the advanced options by default? Quite frankly, I can't understand why that isn't the default. The standard options show nothing that isn't already visible in the properties window in the console, so what's the point of making that the default in the editing window? Regards, John

It should remember your setting of the advanced mode so once you clicked it once, the next time it should be in advanced mode. I forget which version this became available, might be 3.5 or might be 3.4. On Friday, September 19, 2014 02:38:38 PM John Gardeniers wrote:

If it was 3.4 then it's not working as I've always had to click the advanced options. Likely a 3.5 feature then? - Trey On Sep 19, 2014 7:33 AM, "Alexander Wels" <awels@redhat.com> wrote:

I can confirn that I've verified on a 3.5rc2 oVirt installation the setting is persistent across logout and restart of browser It you enable advanced options for a VM, you get this setting for other VMs too and this setting is preserved upon logout and also restart of browser session. The same if you select "Hide advanced options" coming from a previously Advanced setting. On another installation with 3.4.1 the default setting is that you have always to explicitly enable advanced options, also in the same session for other VMs after enabling it for one of them.

Thanks. I'd say it would have to be 3.5 then because I'm on 3.4 and it's a real pain having to click that button ever time. I still don't understand why the advanced view isn't the default, at least for any admin user. regards, John On 19/09/14 22:33, Alexander Wels wrote:
