Switching between Overall Settings and Parameters tabs in Deployment Configuration loses changes

[Dan Trainor]

Switching between Overall Settings and Parameters tabs in the Deployment Configuration dialogue results in changes being made between these two tabs without clicking "Save Changes" to be lost.

Changes should be persistent in the dialogue between switching tabs and committed as one change set when "Save Changes" is pressed, permanently saving the changes.

To demonstrate this, click on the Edit Configuration button. Then, change any option from its default state. Switch to the Parameters tab, then back to the Overall Settings tab. Observe that changes to the Overall Settings tab are changed.

Workaround: save in Overall Settings before switching.

[Jiri Tomasek (jtomasek)]

The selection made in Overall Settings drive the list of parameters in Parameters tab. Overall Settings needs to reflect actual configuration state, if GUI persisted unsaved changes there, we'd need to resolve another problem - how to let user know that he made changes there but did not save them. I am not sure we want to go this far with how we complicate things.

We're hitting the UX problem which is introduced by including those 2 views as into a single modal.

Suggestions on the solution are highly welcome
