Maybe this drop down values could depend on a radio button to show options only for kvm, xen, vmware.

It could provide some kind of templating templates, disabling some options or forcing others, the ideal would be to make it contextual.

For example:

• when uploading a new ISO:
  ** if @type@ is @CDRom@ then force @datastore@ to @iso@
  ** if @type@ is @os@ then enable @datastore@ @qcow images@ and @raw images@, with @qcow images@ as default
  ** if the selected @datastore@ is @qcow images@ then set @driver@ to @qcow2@
• when creating a new VM template:
  ** force architecture @x86_64@
  ** enable @acpi@
  ** disable @pae@
  ** enable VNC console by default

Today I create a basic template and clone it to create new ones, but my users are not as strict as me and they often create VM templates from scratch, forgetting the VNC setting, or other things.

A toggle button to set a template @as default@ could be interesting in such case.

Regards.

Even better, setting the template @as default for group XXX@, then we can have different default settings per group.

Today we are generating template from jenkins jobs, so users rarely create their own templates, but as they mostly never create template, they never remember which parameters to set ;-)
