Add text about the limit to use only Network type alias for Custom Destination
0%
Description
Hello,
At the UI path of pfBlockerNG > IP > IPv4 > edit of a table object > the section of "Advanced Inbound Firewall Rule Settings" > "Custom Destination" - I tried to add an Alias object I already had, but he auto-complete didn't work nor forcing the full exact name and saving.
Searching around I found this post
https://forum.netgate.com/topic/178444/advanced-inbound-firewall-rule-settings-custom-destination-only-takes-alias-of-typ-network/2
Which solved my issue.
This field of "Custom Destination" probably accept only alias objects of a type of "Network".
It was a frustrating exercise...
Pleassse - Add to the text below this field - a prominent warning that this field only accepts Network type alias objects (god knows why).
It will save many users.
Thank you!

- Tracker changed from Documentation to Todo
This is asking for a change to the GUI, not the documentation.

I didn't find a more suitable place to ask for it. Can you direct me?

It's OK now - I changed it from a "Documentation" type request to a "Todo" request which is why I added that note.

Thanks.
I think it will be good to add a category of UI, for both the text and visuals of UI.
