[Bug 1372311] Re: pre-populate gateway in create network dialog

 

The problem with this change is that if the Network Address is modifed
in this form, then the form will have to somehow know whether the
Gateway IP address should be overwritten with a new default. For
example, if the user has entered something specific into the Gateway IP
address field, then you wouldn't want a change in Network Address to
overwrite this; on the other hand, if the Gateway IP address is
displaying the default address and you change the Network Address, then
you would want to overwrite it.

Other options should be considered for how to display the default rather
than overwriting a user-editable field.

Moving to Opinion status; feel free to change it if you have some way to
address this.

Title:
  pre-populate gateway in create network dialog

Status in OpenStack Dashboard (Horizon):
  Opinion

Bug description:
  
  On the second step of Create Network dialog, the Gateway IP field acts oddly. According to the help text, to use the default value, leave it blank. If you want to not use a Gateway, check the box underneath it that says Disable Gateway. 

  If most people just want to use the default value as I'd expect they
  would, it would be nice to explicitly show that value and populate the
  field after the user enters a Network Address.
