Right-Click Console Extentions Stop Working in 9.5.4 Console

Is anyone else experiencing an issue with their right-click menu extensions not working for MaxComputerSetSize<>1 items in the 9.5.4 console? Just migrated from 9.2 and do not know if this is unique to 9.5.4 or 9.5 in general?

Can you please explain the precise steps to reproduce the problem ?

Follow the instructions at http://support.bigfix.com/labs/customright.html for creating a custom right-click option. For MaxComputersetSize, enter in 0. Now in the console, when you select 1 computer, the option is available for selection. When you select 2 or more computers, the option is greyed out and not available. Even with the ComputerApplicabilityRelevance set to “true”, this is the case.

What was the behavior on 9.2 if you set MaxComputersetSize to 0 ?

It would work. :slight_smile:
Basically, it would run the command for each selected computer. So for instance, if you created a command to ping the computer and you ran it with 2 computers selected, you would see 2 command prompt windows appear pinging the selected computers (one computer per prompt)

The problem has been introduced in the early versions of 9.2. I tried on a 9.2.6 and it has the same behavior. There is a problem reading the key MaxComputerSetSize correctly.
The name is constructed as Max[type]SetSize but the type is never filled with the correct value so the resulting entry name is MaxSetSize. If you use such name the custom menu works as expected. Of course this is only a workaround for a bug which is going to be fixed in the next patch/release.
