* dont show just long list of variables with no particular order.
{quote}
For this to happen we need enhancements in the templates. [~jcantrill] will have a chat with the people in #openshift about it.


{quote}
* warn/error about required fields (or at least make templates that works out of the box - i.e. have git refs filled out)
{quote}
Right now the eap templates should already have the needed enahncements in place so that everything should work out of the box.


{quote}
* label page has no information/context on what its needed for
{quote}
We currently have explanations in the title area:
!explanation-for-labels.png!
Maybe we should add explanations in a more prominent place like. ex. above the table?


{quote}
* let me see what is going to be created before creation happens
{quote}
We have the "Details" button in the first page where you select the template. The details shown tell you about all resources that will get created. 
!template-resource-details.png!
What's lacking?


{quote}
* let me delete/undo the creation (i.e. if parts of it fails its tedious to cleanup after it)
{quote}
The non-transactional character that there for now is by design. 
* We could add an "Undo" button where we would help the user to remove what was created.
* We also plan to have the ability to delete multiple items in ...
* We could also implement a delete by label
* ...
WDYT?


{quote}
* let me edit fields by double clicking - now i need to edit
{quote}
filed to JBIDE-20129


{quote}
* find a way to only show the important fields and put rest under "advanced" or something similar to avoid the "wall-of-variables"
{quote}
So here again we dont have any criteria/metadata to indicate what is basic while others are advanced. We need enhancements in the templates to happen so that we can provide that.
