Bug / feature request: Change of alias in use should trigger fw rule reload
(1/1)
binaryanomaly:
A minor thing I observed and thought I'd report:
Current behavior
If you change an alias that is in use with a firewall rule, nothing happens and the change is not applied to the fw rule set.
Desired behavior
A change of an alias that is in use by a fw rule should trigger the fw rule reload notification so the users are aware that the change is not applied immediately and requires a reload of the ruleset.
franco:
Actually aliases can be reloaded out of band which makes them very flexible. Did you hit apply on the main alias configuration page after editing the alias?
Cheers,
Franco

Obviously not. I did not see the apply button and the notification at all as it was outside visible screen area.
So there's nothing lacking from a functional perspective it's more a usability / UI thing.
franco:
And/or documentation.
Cheers,
Franco

Documentation never hurts. An intuitive, fail-safe UI is king though ;-)
