Item Type of information Bug since Zabbix 7

XMLWordPrintable

      Steps to reproduce:

      1. Open up a template item or host item
        1. In this case using zabbix agent item but impacts other types
      2. Put the cursor in the key field
      3. Press ctrl+c (on windows) with or without text highlighted
        1. This happens even on disabled key fields from templated items on a host

      Result:
      The Type of information field defaults to Text from whatever value it was originally

      See attachment post ctrlc

      Expected:
      Type of information should not be altered if the key has not changed.

      see attachment pre ctrlc

       

       

      This was never an issue pre Zabbix 7.  This was introduced in 7+ and does not appear to be fixed yet.

      It has caused many missed outages and issues with dependent items & preprocessors, because of accidently changing the item type without noticing the automated change
