Bug Description
In the "Network connections" dialog, select an available interface and select "Edit IPv6".
The "Automatic (DHCP)" option should simply read "Automatic".
Select Save.
The resulting address list states "DHCPv6". This should simply read "v6 Auto", or the correct configuration method should be listed.
The VLAN being tested is using SLAAC for address auto-configuration, not DHCPv6. Incorrectly labeling the configuration method is confusing and may cause problems in troubleshooting.
To be clear, the correct action is being taken when Automatic is selected. My issue is only with the display.

Well this isn't quite right: "Automatic (DHCP)" really does enable DHCP6. But you are right that there is a problem. For IPv6 we should likely offer four options: "Manual", "Automatic (DHCP)", "Automatic (SLAAC)" (would that be the right label?), "Disabled".
