There was a talk in the past to allow edit of the disk as its own entity 
it but I think that some of the disk params are vm dependent so editing 
them for disk only are a problem.
Ayal, do you remember why editing the disk on it's own was not implemented?

Now I want to repair some broken configs from another vm’s boot disk. First I unattach the device from the broken vm. If I forget to remove the bootable flag, then I have to attach the disk again to the broken vm. I remove the bootable flag and attach the disk to my „recover vm“.  This is quite a long way round.
