689392 - Adding environment should not have element controls

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Mozilla QA Graveyard :: MozTrap, defect)

Description

[Rebecca Billings [:rbillings]]

When adding an environment in CC, there are Delete options under 'Controls' which do not relate to adding an environment. This is confusing and potentially very bad if users can accidentally delete Environment elements during an add.

1) Add an environment
2) select 'Operating System'
3) click trash can under controls [thinking it would remove the selection from your new environment]

expected: OS is no longer selected
actual: error message displays that OS is in use and cannot be deleted

* Clarification: replace the word 'Element' above with 'Category' - I didn't realize you could add and delete categories. It still strikes me as wrong to be able to edit these during an Add Environment flow.

Perhaps in "creation mode" for an env profile, we ONLY should allow a user to rename and delete items they themselves created in this session (to fix errors they JUST made).  Then in order to delete and edit, they need to go into an edit mode.  Presumably, there are different permission levels to delineate this.

In the short term, during creation, the delete icons should be removed.  It's too confusing for the user to be able to delete things that may apply to other profiles during the create process.

eric: here's the story you were asking about today (for redoing the create-profile screen and splitting the category/element management to its own screen).
