VM Settings validation blocks custom key value pairs #7700
Description
ISSUE TYPE
- Improvement Request
COMPONENT NAME
UI
CLOUDSTACK VERSION
4.17,4.18 mostly related to the new UI.
CONFIGURATION
OS / ENVIRONMENT
SUMMARY
Currently, the VM settings in the UI validate (not in API) the parameters. It allows only a known/predefined list of parameters in the drop-down available. However, this is restrictive for advanced users and more use cases. Custom parameter/key-value pairs could be allowed if required to display a message that it is not in the predefined list and the user is expected to make sure it is supported etc.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Stop a VM
2. Try adding a new parameter via the VM settings tab.
EXPECTED RESULTS
VM settings UI could allow custom key-value pairs.
ACTUAL RESULTS
VM settings UI doesn't allow custom key-value pairs.
