Hi,

In previous AdminTools versions, the field "User agents to block" was a textarea. You could copy and paste a list of bots (one per line). Now, it's a choices input, and you must enter one bot at a time. 

Is there a way to disable the choices input? Or is there a place where the list of bots can be set?

 

Best Regards

Anibal

Hello,

you're correct, some time ago it was a textarea. Even if it was easier to copy/paste elements, it was more error prone, since customers could put everything in any way.

If you need to transfer the list of user agents, the best tool to use is the import/export feature.

I think the choices input is OK as a UI field to enter a few Tags, but it is not helpful for entering the list of bots that can visit a site.

Ok, thanks. Case closed.
