Inconsistent validation of A DNS records

[Nikolay Vinogradov]

Running snapped MAAS 2.9 (2.9.0~rc1 (9117-g.ae6569d91).

MAAS allowed me to create an A DNS record with a dot in the middle, but it won't allow to edit or remove it until the record is renamed (see the DNS resource editing on the attached screenshot).

The validation behaviour should be made more consistent in this scenario.

Thanks.

This might be a UI bug. Via API I can add and remove the record

Might be that we're not validating against dots in the "add form" but we do in the "edit form". In that case all we need to do is remove this validation in "edit".

We noticed that we already changed the MAAS UI and users cannot add records with dots anymore. That said, for existing records this inconvenience is still true but for new ones the situation cannot occur anymore.
