Two of our FortiGates have the section listed before every rule

We've had sections created on each of our FortiGates (currently running 7.4.6) that we manage via FortiManager. Today upon logging into FMG, two of the FortiGates now have the section before every firewall rule and not the specific sections wherer they've been for the past few years. 

 

I suspect the cause is something within the FortiManager, because we deployed changes to these two firewalls yesterday, and when I look at what's about to be deployed to another firewall, every line of the firewall policy has "set global-label "blah(##)". 

 

Can someone point me in the right direction as to how to disable this behavior? Thank you.

Hi @albaker ,

 

This issue has been fixed in FMG v7.4.7, you may upgrade to improve the behavior.

 

Or upgrade not an option at this moment, you may perform a workaround by creating a CLI template related to the configuration and assigned to the device.

Thanks for the info, smkml. I'll look into the CLI template until we can get the firmware upgrades approved.
