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!
