After upgrade to 18.7 alias description/detail is missing (in attach).
But in configuration backup exist.

--- Code: ---    <alias>
      <name>FQDN_CRL</name>
      <type>host</type>
      <descr>Adresy List CRL ocsp</descr>
      <address>crl.certum.pl ovcasha2.ocsp-certum.com tg.symcd.com tg.symcb.com gj.symcb.com gj.symcd.com repository.certum.pl crl2.alphassl.com ocsp2.globalsign.com crl3.digicert.com crl4.digicert.com ocsp.digicert.com cacerts.digicert.com</address>

This is Bug ?
This field was very helpfull to identify specific entry.

franco:
https://forum.opnsense.org/index.php?topic=9280.0

specifically:

o In preparation for the firewall alias API the per-item descriptions have been removed along with support for the deprecated types urltable_ports and url_ports.

advcron:
OK. I understand.
Will there be any tool for identifying alias entries?

For example, I have 10 ip addresses in host alias, and I would like to now which workstation has certain address.

franco:
We've discussed how we can retain this, but were unable to find a useful way.

What you can do is nest your aliases by creating single aliases for your devices with a unique description, then merge them into another alias by typing the alias name of the individual ones instead of providing addresses, e.g.

Alias 1: 10.0.0.1 Host 1
Alias 2: 10.0.0.2 Host 1
Alias 3: Alias 1, Alias 2


Cheers,
Franco

advcron:
Yes. I also think this is only way.
But I notice one issue:
When you have this "Alias group" and rename individual host alias. In alias group name chaged. This is correct.
When you delete individual host alias, the entry in alias group not delete. This is not correct.
@franco I don't now it is possible to prevent from delete "individual host/port alias, when it use in alias group or delete this entry in alias group.
