Feature Request: Preference Option to Restrict Zones/Objects to Only Existing When Building Policies

bgolub — Tue, 29 Jan 2019 15:04:11 GMT

The current PAN-OS GUI makes adding objects and zones on the fly very easy while building policies.

Unfortunately this sometimes casues unwanted side effects:

As an example, when building a security policy including the zone "Admin" I started typing "admin" in the zone add field as a search and pressed enter. Instead of choosing the already-built "Admin" zone, this caused a new zone "admin" to be created with no associated type, interfaces, etc., which obviously caused commit errors.

The on-the-fly addition is handy in some cases, but I would like to be able to toggle this function on and off. Once the majority of the objects and zones are built I would prefer the GUI to only pick existing objects from the drop-down unless I explicitly click the "+" add button.

That said there's a thread on submitted FRs. If you search for "feature request" I'm sure you'll find it. To officially have your FR accepted you need to talk to your SE.
