Bug Description
This is a minor UI quirk and will be great if can be fixed. Here is some details to reproduce. I tested with a machine that has 2 NICs:
- Go to MAAS UI, pick a machine.
- Go to Network tab, select both interfaces, then click "Create Bond".
- Create and save the bond.
- Delete the bond that was just created.
- "Create Bond" button remains greyed out, where it should get re-enabled after the bond was deleted.
The exact same issue happens to "Create Bridge" button:
- Go to MAAS UI, pick a machine.
- Go to Network tab, select both interfaces, then click "Create Bond".
- Create and save the bond.
- Select the bond, then click "Create Bridge".
- Create and save the bridge.
- Delete the bridge that was just created.
- "Create Bridge" button remains greyed out, where it should get re-enabled after the bridge was deleted.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Thank you,
Alan

Hi Alan, thanks for filing a bug.
If I understand correctly, the "Create bond" and "Create bridge" buttons are disabled because the underlying NICs are not selected after deleting a bond or bridge. Is your expectation that when a bond or bridge is deleted the underlying NICs become selected automatically? That UX seems a little strange personally, so I'm just wondering if some more prominent help text might be the solution here (currently there's just a tooltip when hovering over the disabled buttons). Alternatively we could look at changing the flow from "select NICs" => "click Create bond", to "click Create bond" => "select NICs".
