Problem Statement

Currently, in the Create Image form:

• The Libvirt provider displays Image path as a textbox.

• The VMware provider (and others) display Image as a dropdown.

These fields are not aligned, causing a UI/UX inconsistency across providers. The goal is to align the textbox with the dropdown and ensure consistent positioning across providers.

User Experience & Workflow

• Compute Resource Setup

• • User first creates a Compute Resource (Libvirt, VMware, or others).

• • Alternatively, the user can select an already existing Compute Resource.

• Navigate to Image Creation

• • User navigates to Compute Resources → Images → Create Image.

• Fill Basic Details

• • User enters Name, selects Operating System, Architecture, and Username.

• Image Field Interaction

• • For Libvirt: User enters the full path of the backing image into the Image path textbox.

• • For VMware (and other providers): User selects an image from a dropdown.

Requirements

• Align the Image path textbox (Libvirt) with the Image dropdown (VMware and others).

• Ensure consistent field label placement (Image / Image path) across providers.

Business Impact

If this feature is not included:

• User confusion: Inconsistent UI may confuse users switching between compute resources, leading to errors in image selection or path entry.

• Increased support burden: Users may raise unnecessary support requests due to unclear differences in provider fields.
