[7.470][FEATURE][ANSWERED] Adding a group definition to another group gives bad error.

If you create a new group with the members of another group it gives a strange error.
Screenshot: Add a new service definition. Change the type of definition as group. Now try adding any of the group definitions that you have created or the predefined in webadmin like astaro up2date etc. You will get the error in the screenshot.
Tested on FF3.5 vista sp2 and IE8.

Hi Bob,

this is not a bug. Since version 7.0 it is not possible to use service groups into service groups. Please open a feature request for that.

Greetings
Andreas

Andy, I think BillyBob has a point... that error message should not be listing the internal REF_****** names of the invalid items, it should be using the user-readable names... or, better yet, pop up a box that says "Groups can not be added as Group Elements" or something to that effect... that's just a sloppy error dialog, that's all.

Thanks bruce for backing me on this. If the functionality exists and it is giving you some vague error, why not fix that error. The Ref_Icanwrite_awesomecode. doesn't help anyone but astaro for trouble shooting.

I am not asking to add functionality, I am asking to fix the error. By the way that functionality existed in v6 and somehow disappeared in v7
