Describe the bug Concern is described in forum issue 41502
When a user clicks on 'clone $thing' (rule, server, alias, firewall rule, dhcp reservation, haproxy config, etc)
(AKA: 'pretty much anything that has a clone button')
The resulting modal popup has a title which conveys that the user is editing the original resource
Edit $resourcetype
rather than creating a new one from it.
This looks like its controlled by jquery, and the label seems like it would be targetable, thus if one clicks on 'clone' the title could read 'Clone $objectType' or 'Cloning $originalObjectTitle' rather than 'Edit $objectType'
While it's true, one is TECHNICALLY editing an item of that type, it's misleading, as the window appears the same as if one clicked the 'edit $thing' button...
To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
- Go to any opnsense page which has a list of elements which permit cloning
- Click on the clone button
- Get confused by the 'Editing $thing' title in the modal.
Expected behavior
Ideally the modal's title would read 'cloning $originalresource' or 'creating new $resourcetype from $original_item_cloned' or something.
Describe alternatives you considered
continuing to get confused.
