Feature Request - UI state reset on schedule state change
« on: April 07, 2021, 05:44:10 pm »
Hello,

I don't see a spot on the forums for feature requests, so I will add it here. Apologies if it is in the wrong place.

As the subject implies:

I'm requesting an option in the web GUI on the schedule configuration page. I'm thinking something like a checkbox, to enable an option that resets states when a particular schedule takes effect.

I've seen a number of people requesting this on the forums, or something similar. There seems to be a lot of confusion as to why firewall rules aren't taking effect when the schedule becomes active. While I understand there is a good technical explanation, it is still understandable confusion. Especially for newer users.

The best workaround I can find is to create a cron script in the console to reset states on a schedule that happens to coincide with the respective firewall schedule. If this is the only way to reset states after a firewall schedule takes effect, then it is extremely inconvenient and probably beyond the abilities of the average user.

Having an option on the schedule page to reset states after a schedule rule becomes active seems like a fairly good solution.
