Public bug reported: DEFAULT_SERVICE_REGIONS makes it sound like it is setting default regions when a services_region cookie isn't present, when in fact it takes precedence over a cookie.
This is terrible UX because a user that can change to another valid region is forced on login to the region always defined in DEFAULT_SERVICE_REGIONS, and then always change manually to the region they want every time. The cookie, a user controlled value, should always take precedence over a 'default' value. If we want to allow a forceful override then it should be called something else such as FORCED_SERVICE_REGIONS. The settings don't even make this behavior clear, which further makes me think this is a bug or an unconsidered part of the implementation: https://docs.openstack.org/horizon/latest/configuration/settings.html#default-service-regions We should change the precedence to: 1. services_region cookie 2. DEFAULT_SERVICE_REGIONS endpoint 3. any valid region from the catalog ** Affects: horizon Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Yahoo!
