Hoss Man commented on SOLR-3680:
--------------------------------
As an example of how this bit me:
* i loaded the form, edited only the "instanceDir" field, and hit submit.
* i was just doing some quick testing so i didn't care what core name was being
used, but the value i could see "new_core" wasn't actaully sent
* error in the logs: "java.lang.RuntimeException: Core needs a name"
Another example i can easily imagine where someone would be confused:
* user loads the form
* they fill in the "name" and "instanceDir" but leave dataDir as the "data"
ghost value because that's what they want
* no value is actually sent for dataDir, so the default in the solrconfig.xml
files is used -- and it may be something else.
> Core Admin UI "Add Core" screen has confusing "ghost" defaults

> Currently the "Add Core" screen in the admin UI has all of the form fields
> filled in with what i can only describe as "ghost values":
> * if you click on them they vanish
> * if you click away w/o typing anything they re-appear
> * if you submit the form with a ghost value left in place, no value is sent
> i think we should consider:
> * removing these ghost values completley
> * using some visual indicator of what blanks are required
