UI: Dropdown doesn't list all the entries #9729
Description
ISSUE TYPE
- Enhancement Request
COMPONENT NAME
UI
CLOUDSTACK VERSION
All versions which have the new UI
CONFIGURATION
N/A
OS / ENVIRONMENT
N/A
SUMMARY
The dropdown in the UI fetches all domains at once with the default page size. If the actual count of resources is higher, the keyword search doesn't work and the domains after the default page size can't be selected in the UI.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
- Create 10 domains with different names.
- Set the default page size to 5.
- The domain list while launching or importing a VM, doesn't show all the records.
EXPECTED RESULTS
I should be able to see all records or search by keyword and select. Or allow entering a UUID manually.
ACTUAL RESULTS
All entries in the drop down are not listed.

Hey @vishesh92 have you verified that this problem is not in the API? It sounds like it could have to do with the pagesize and page parameters.
vishesh92 commentedon Sep 25, 2024
The problem could be fixed by increasing the pagesize parameter but that would also slow down the UI. And if the number of entries are let's say 10000, it can also increase the load on the database.

What you are saying is that the problem is not in the UI, right?
vishesh92 commentedon Sep 25, 2024
This is an enhancement request. As of now, the end user will have to use the API instead of the UI.
UI should be making search queries with keyword when text is entered in the drop down to ensure that the user can search and select the desired resource irrespective of how many entries are present.
Another possible fix is to allow the user to enter the UUID even if it's not present in the drop down.
DaanHoogland commentedon Sep 25, 2024
Yes, but still it is the API that must be fixed, unless you say that giving the page and pagesize parameters on the CLI will yield the requested results.

This is partially addressed here: #11991. Still some drop downs in Create Volume, Register Template/ISO from URL, Upload Template/ISO from Local, etc to be addressed. cc @DaanHoogland @abh1sar @vishesh92

@sureshanaparti (cc @vishesh92 ) any idea if, or how complete this list is?
vishesh92 commentedon Jan 29, 2026
There are a lot of other places which needs this change and will require searching through the code to update this. I don't have a complete list as of now. But I doubt the PR #11991 covers even 25% of the usage.
DaanHoogland commentedon Jan 29, 2026
so should we have the ambition to solve this before 20.3 then?
