Highlight unapplied changes
0%
Description
I have multiple users with access to our pfsense system, and this morning I found a large red warning in the GUI indicating that configuration changes have been made (in the haproxy config) that have not yet been applied. Unfortunately, I don't seem to have any way to view the differences between the running config and the not-yet applied config in the GUI.
A system that provided some visual indication, such as changing the color of the modified config fields, would go a long way to give me confidence that I can apply the changes without upsetting anything.

Sorry for forgetting to include the version. It is version: 2.0.2-RC4 (amd64), and this is specifically a request for the GUI/portal component, and, if it makes a difference, the config I'm looking at is the haproxy service.

This would be extremely hard to do.
You can always see a diff of the existing config to the previous - Diag > Backup/Restore on the Config History tab -- but making those changes visible throughout the GUI isn't really feasible, as it would be difficult to highlight them and also determine which changes have been applied and which have not.
For instance if someone changes a rule but doesn't apply it, then they go to another page and make a change that doesn't require applying, that would be done but the filter rule change may not have been applied.
I'll leave this open for others to comment on but I doubt it'll happen.
