Problem/Motivation

Currently when a user goes to create a new plan, they are overwhelmed with all the options. Also, we do not provide sensible defaults on some of the settings for the plan.

Not providing default settings leads to problems when the user just enters the plan's Title and the Description, and then tries to save the form (see #1917622: Will not accept anything as a title when creating a new endpoint).

Proposed resolution

Use a collapsed fieldset for the plan settings, along side sane defaults for them.

Remaining tasks

Do it.

User interface changes

A new collapsed fieldset on admin/structure/deploy/plans/add

API changes

None

Data model changes

None

Attached patch does the following:

  • Adds a fieldset (collapsed) for the more complex plan settings.
  • Adds defaults to both the Aggregator and the Processor (first available option for both). On a fresh installation these default to Managed aggregator and Memory processor. Endpoints are left unchecked.
