Unable to unselect single servers when selecting a full group of nodes (by status or anything else)

[Peter Wall]

From MaaS 3.3 onwards when selecting a group of hosts in the UI by status or any other option you cannot deselect an individual host. In 3.2 this works fine and is useful as there may be one or 2 hosts in the group that don't require modification.

Hi Peter,
Thanks for filing this. Could you aid your description with a screenshot or screencast so we can get a better understanding of the issue?

[Peter Wall (pwall-cerence)]

Sure, here is a screenshot of maas 3.4.0... I can't show much more as this is in production.

As you can see, when the selection group (in this case "Deployed") is selected, I cannot unselect individual machines. So if I wanted to do all machines but one, I'd need to individually select every machine but one.

This is not the case in versions lower than 3.3.x (I believe I tested it on 3.3.4).

Cheers!

Tested and verified that 3.2 allows to deselect hosts individually after a group is selected.

Updating status to "triaged".

Adding support for fixing this, as it hampers workflows for customers with large installations managed under MAAS. Customer confirmed that 3.5 still exhibits the inability to unselect individual hosts when an entire group has been selected.
