      Description of problem:

      In Virtualization -> Virtual Machines, pick a VM

      The following options are shown:

      Overview | Details | ... | Configuration | Events | ... | Diagnostic

      While the "Configuration" one has a submenu with:

      Scheduling | Environment | Network Interfaces | Disks | Scripts

      I found this quite confusing to use, because many VM configuration items are still under Details.

      For example, if I want to change any of the following VM configuration details, they are under Details and not under Configuration:

      • CPU
      • Memory
      • Boot mode
      • Boot order
      • Hostname
      • SSH
      • Hardware devices
      • Hostdevices
      • Headless

      Especially CPU, Memory, Boot order are basic "VM Configuration" items. So I'd expect them to be under the new Configuration menu, not in details.

      The way it is now the configuration of the VM is spread inside the configuration menu and outside. It is weird.

      Maybe it would be more user friendly to really have all configuration settings inside configuration.

      Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
      4.13
