Subject: [PATCH manager v3] ui: pool create: allow selecting parent pool via selector
Date: Tue, 1 Sep 2026 09:16:58 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260901071815.599766-1-d.csapak@proxmox.com> (raw)
instead of having to type out the full path, e.g. 'foo/bar/baz',
show a 'pool selector' to select the parent pool.
Forbid using slashes in the name field so it's not possible to specify
the structure with both the name and parent pool field.
This makes creating nested pools more obvious and easier.
Only allow selecting pools up to level 2 as parent, otherwise show a
sensible error on the parent field.

changes from v2:
* disallow pools that are nested too deeply (level >=3)
still show them, since it would be too subtle why some are missing
