From: / To: fields greyed out when going from pre-configured to Advanced tab #10

Current behaviour:

Select a pre-configured rule, e.g. SSH. Then press right arrow key in the bottom right to go to the advanced tab.

The From: and To: fields in the bottom of the window are greyed out. Only the [paste] button is functional, which normally pastes the current IP. This is useless since the fields remain greyed out and cannot be edited.

Expected behaviour: The From: To: fields should ALWAYS be editable, and so the Port fields! This is what the Advanced tab is made for. I would like to use standard rules (like SSH, SAMBA etc.) and edit them, for example to limit SSH access to the local network. This is a very common objective and should have been easy to accomplish.

Unfortunately the behaviour is very inconsistent. If I paste my IP using the paste button, it will come up with that IP whenever I create a new rule.

At the moment, the only way I can configure the IP range is by creating a simple rule, then go to Advanced. Only then are the fields NOT greyed out. If I then declare the local network, e.g. From: 192.168.1.0/24, it will show whenever I create a new predefined rule and go to the Advanced tab.

Hi,

Could you send me a screenshot about the rule to add with the disabled fields?

Thanks.
