I can't reproduce this. I am able to use a port type alias in the destination ports field when the destination is set as described. I am able to make an identical set of rules to those on the page as well. Post on the forum for assistance, it's likely that you have some other misconfiguration, such as having the alias in question set for the wrong type.

Hello Jim, thank you for looking at this. So I took a screen-shots do demonstrate my point:

Screen-shot #1: Alias for Port group is created and listed correctly under the: Firewall->Aliases->Ports

Screen-shot #2: Firewall rule been created, and as you can see on the screen-shot, the filed where you would enter the alias is grayed out and inaccessible for the editing.
If I choose "Host or a Alias" in drop down menu, I could start typing the name of the Alias name, but what actually shows up is alias for the "Networks" but NOT the alias I have created for the ports.

Screen-shot #3: List of the firewall rules where I can't replace the "*" with the alias for ports.

Please note... there is also an issue when I try re-arrange the order of the firewall rules (I think this is a separate ticket I should file). The rules can be dragged with the mouse, but as soon as you "let-go" of the rule, browser (Iceweasel "Firefox") prompts with a message "You are about to leave the page... Stay or leave?" and no matter what you choice is, one you come back to the firewall rules list, it's back to the same state, as of you have never re-arrange the order of the rules.

Clicking the save button is not possible because... well its just not clickable.

The browser I am using is Iceweasel 38.8.0 running on Debian Jessie 8.

Please advise. I still think this is bug, and as of right now, on my side as a user and the admin, i can't replicate the technique provided in the official doc's.

Thank you for your time.
