Visual error in "create task" gui

Wake on Lan Tasking is a separate thing from the “Wake on lan” checkbox.

The Wake on lan checkbox enables you to disable/enable WOL for the host about to take on the tasking. The wake on lan tasking only sends a WOL packet to the host. They are NOT the same thing.

I’ve never used much of the more advanced fog-settings, so for me as a “new” user, this is a confusing UI.
As I understand it, the WOL-checkbox means that you want to “wake” the host by WOL, instead of having to power it up manually. Clicking on the label next to the checkbox should simply toggle the checkbox-value. That’s how it works everywhere in Windows at least (and that happens with the “schedule schutdown” and “schedule debug task” as well)

Not sure what you mean by your explanation Tom, sorry…

@bmaster001 I don’t know what you mean. The check box is working fine when I select it or not select it. It shows the check or no check depending on the state it was previously.

See screenshots. First one is “before”, then I click on “Wake on lan” (the label, not the checkbox!), and I get the second situation (wake on lan still checked).

@bmaster001 The Advanced Settings dialog box is dynamic and hides incompatible settings (keeping the IT admin from making dumb mistakes).

With Debug task enabled delayed deployment, cron deployment, and shutdown are no longer appropriate, since you will be in the debug console.

Unless I missed something in your post. The WOL should have no impact on the debug task.

@george1421 I think his complaint is that when you click on the Wake on LAN label it enables Debug task (which it probably shouldn’t?)

Gotcha, let me update my dev environment is on 8157 right now. I can confirm that 8157 does not change anything when WOL is turned on or off.

Hey not fair, let me at least prove its was broken to begin with!!

[Tom Elliott]

@george1421 Once I know what it is, I fix it fast. Lol.

Seems like the hardest part here was to explain what was wrong…
And fighting over who gets to fix something… that’s called motivation
