[Solved][22.1.6][unbound] host overide alias doesn't work

[skywalker007]

Hi,
just realized - no matter what I put into the alias dialog, nothing shows up under host override -> alias afterwards. The list stays empty.
Is this a bug?

thanks! Till

@skywalker007 did you found the solution?

[skywalker007]

No. But based on the reference links you have it seems to be a bug. So I wait for the fix.

Don't want to burst a bubble but there are no open bugs from your description.


Cheers,

Its not bug, unbound will process ok, its just counter-intuitive GUI.

As I wrote here https://forum.opnsense.org/index.php?topic=27846.msg135631#msg135631

I have to select Host on top to see alias in bottom?
That's terribly counter intuitive - when I want to find alias, I need to click on 50 hosts if some of them have aliases to be displayed.
When nothing is selected on top, all aliases should be displayed.

OMG - now I got it how it works. I would have never guessed that. Thanks for clarifying it @mnaim

Nekroposting this to confirm that I ran into this issue and considered it a defect until you made me realize that it's simply UI design from hell. Thanks, mnaim!

There is a checkbox where a radio button should be. Don't do that, please. :)
