Public bug reported:

Currently in the Horizon UI, after adding a security rule you can only
delete it. If you mess up one of the fields, there's no edit option
available where you could see the create dialog again, flip it from TCP
to UDP or whatever you forgot to do, and then update the rule. You've
got to remember everything you need to fill out, delete it, and then
create it properly.

It'd be much simpler if users could edit a security rule group, instead
of having to delete and recreate.

If there's nothing in nova that lets us edit a rule, could we fake it in
the UI and when they "edit" a rule, we just pull out all the configured
info, populate a create dialog with it, and then when they click save,
it deletes the old rule and creates the updated one?

As someone who has entered lots of security rules, I can tell you
firsthand that it's really demoralizing when you realize you forgot to
change TCP to UDP on your otherwise correct rule after creating it, and
have to delete it and try again, remembering which position you were in
on your port table so you don't start entering a different rule...
