[7.386] Deleting a Static DHCP mapping warns in use

When I try to delete a Static IP mapping in the DHCP settings, I get a warning that "The object you want to delete is still in use. Proceed with object deletion?".

This is odd as it's a computer that's been gone a long time, and I don't see what can use a static DHCP mapping.

When I click on the little blue 'i', it says

Used in these configurations: Network → DHCP → Servers
Used by these objects: This object is not used by any other objects

Thanks,
Barry

There are lots of places in V7.305 where that occurs also.

Yeah, I'm seeing it when deleting a Masq rule too.

Hi Barry,
this happens for just about every deletion I have done in the beta versions.

Hi Barry,

I guess strictly speaking astaro is right as this object (static mac/ip setting) is indeed in use by the corresponding dhcp server. It would probably not be in use any more if you deleted the specific dhcp-server that uses this mapping. Of course that's not what you want to do and besides that there won't be any "static mac/ip mapping" page if there's no dhcp-server configured :-)

If this theory is right, than the "in use" message doesn't make sense for any objects that are not managed under "Definitions" because only those objects (networks, services, time events) can exist without actually being used somewhere.

I think astaro should change this. There should only be a warning if the object is in use in ANOTHER context than the one being displayed.

Cheers, DiePlage
