SSH Jumphost - Surprise about SSH profile inheritance

[RummsMurmel]

Hello all,

I am a bit puzzled about how to create a SSH jumphost for the default SSH profile.

What I am trying to do (my goal):
Since I have more than 100 hosts to manage, I don't want to build a profile for each SSH connection. So I want to connect to various hosts directly by entering FQDN or IP in the top search box instead of creating a profile for each host in advance. I need to use a Jump-Host, to connect to my servers. So I want the default SSH profile to use a jumphost.

What I did:

1. created the jump host profile. For this I created a new profile with the template "SSH-Connection". I selected "Direct" as the connection method and then configured the FQDN + my username + agent auth. A test to connect works.

2. in "Advanced" Settings I changed the default behavior for the SSH profile to:

• Hostname: empty, since I want to connect dynamically via FQDN/IP.
• Connection method: Jump server
• Jump server: Here I have chosen my profile created in step 1.

My problem:
By changing the default SSH settings in step 2, my profile created in step 1 was changed to "Jump-Host" - but my Jump-Host should be addressed "Direct". So neither the connection to the jump host nor to any other server works.
Also changing the Jump-Host profile to "Direct" afterwards does not work - Tabby ignores the change every time and changes it back to "Jump-Host".

Expected behavior:
I would have expected that after changing the default SSH profile in step 2, I could manually change the connection method for my dedicated jump host profile afterwards.

In the release notes I see for version "Alpha 154" the hint:
"Fixed jump hosts not inheriting default profile settings".

So apparently the behavior was even wanted once - but I don't understand how to get my application scenario built with it.
Maybe it would be helpful to include a function to explicitly disable inheritance for a specific profile?

Can someone please help me here? Thanks!

Greetings

Exactly have the same issue here.
not only with Jumphost. If change the default SSH Profile, either using Proxies mode all other profile saved / created previously auto matically changed following the setting of default SSH option.
