OPSI WebGUI Unintuitive behavior when deselecting a custom ProductProperty value in dropdown

[fried]

We observed unexpected and unintuitive behavior when interacting with a ProductProperty defined in control.toml.

Given the following property:

Code: Alles auswählen

[[ProductProperty]]
type = "unicode"
name = "username"
multivalue = false
editable = true
description = "Username which has to be used as windows username"
values = [""]
default = [""]

Current behaviour:

• When a user manually adds a value (e.g. a custom username), it appears in the dropdown.

• If the dropdown is collapsed, the value is highlighted in blue — suggesting it is selected.

• Clicking this value again triggers a "value changed successfully" message.

• However, the value is not changed, but deleted — without confirmation or any clear visual hint that the action removes the value.

This is confusing and unintuitive, especially since success feedback implies a valid change, not a removal.


Suggested improvement

• An icon or label indicating that clicking again will remove the value.

• A confirmation dialog before deleting a user-added value.

• Alternatively, a separate remove button to distinguish between selection and deletion.
