Descriptive title for this enhancement

Prevent FD to show non related records in the DNS tab

Actual behavior

When you create a system, before saving it with Apply or OK, you can activate the DNS tab and tie the host to a DNS domain. Doing so display non related NS record in the record list, allowing a person who can edit any host to accidently edit another NS record.

Expected behavior

If the hostname is not set yet the list should be empty, or, we should not be able to activate DNS (or DHCP) tab at all

Step by step description of new behaviour

  1. In the system plugin, click on Action > Create new workstation
  2. Before validating it active the DNS tab and tie the machine to a domain

Benefits

It's fairly complicated in our setup to allow limited accounts to add/edit/delete workstations with the ability to generate the NS A record without allowing them to edit the whole zone. The actuel behavior is not satisfying.

Possible Drawbacks

I have no clue of a possible drawback, if you don't allow to activate DNS before saving the machine. One may want to configure every field at the time so this may not be convenient in every scenario.

Enhance display filter by checking if the hostname is not null should not affect other cases.
