Some form field names need to be fixed #869

Open drkitty opened 9 years ago

drkitty commented 9 years ago

PTR: "Fqdn" –> "FQDN"

TXT: "Txt data" –> "TXT data" or "Data"

Dynamic interface: "Mac" –> "MAC address"

Static interface: "Mac" –> "MAC address" "Hostname" –> "Label" (to be consistent with the incorrect naming of every other DNS form)

Network: "Vlan" –> "VLAN" "Vrf" –> "VRF"

The "Hostname" on static interfaces is deliberate. https://github.com/OSU-Net/cyder/pull/481

I don't know if it would be accurate to change "label" to "hostname" for all DNS records. The label of an address record isn't necessarily the name of a host. Well, if you wanted to create a host, why would you use an address record in the first place?

To me, the problem with calling the first label a "hostname" is that it seems like people might try to put the fully-qualified hostname in that box.
