Public bug reported:

When you create a Volume, and you don't have a Type defined, there's
nothing in the dropdown. While it's empty, and not marked as required,
it still makes me a little nervous and wonder what I'm missing out on by
not having a Type to pick. Many other dropdowns in OpenStack either have
a default value, or some helper text instead of just being empty. The
Launch Instance dialog has "--- Select source ---" for Instance Boot
Source, and on the Access & Security tab, if you don't have any Key
Pairs, it says "No key pairs available, with a + button you can click
that takes you to the Import Key Pair dialog.

I'm honestly not sure how important Type is, especially since you can't
seem to do much with it in the UI yet, and have to use the CLI to
actually configure more than a Name for it, but it seems like there
should be some helper text or a string that says they don't have one
yet, and possibly help link them over to where they could create one.
