AFM: address-list no description can be added/changed

Hi all, Since I try to use AFM in a productive environment I started to create the address-objects so called "address-list" in AFM. When I add an address-list I can specify a description but it never will be saved or shown in the overwiev. To use a firewall with many objects you need the description field of the objects, otherwise you are lost in objects-names.

 

When I create the address-list with REST-API I have the description but only in the overview screen. Again, when editing the objects the description is empty again.

 

Used version v12.1.2 HF2

 

Any hints how to work with the descriptions of the objects?

 

Thanks, Peter

    Answering my own question:

     

    I have seen that since v13.1.0.2 it works now but not in v12.1.3.

     

    I found no bug about this in the Bug-Tracker.

     

    When I have the time I will test it again with the newest v12.1.3.4.

    gave it a try myself (version 12.1.2 no hotfix) and experience the same. after creating with tmsh it is shown, but not in the GUI when editing the object. the same i see for the port lists, they both use a bit of a new GUI approach with quickly deleting objects from the list.

     

    it feels like a bug in my opinion, i would open a support case to confirm and check if it gets fixed in 13.x.
