Technical Tip: Changes from v7.2 to v7.4 firewall addresses GUI and firewall policy search

[Matt_B]

Description	This article describes that from v7.4.2, as part of overall FortiGate GUI performance enhancements, some GUI options change for the firewall address page and policy search
Scope	FortiOS v7.4.2 and later.
Solution	The following changes are introduced as part of Issue ID 915481, which can be referenced in 'v7.4.2 Release Notes: Changes in GUI behavior'. They are made for efficiency improvements when loading large object lists. Addresses and Address Groups are changed into the tabs. In addition, address entries are not grouped by type. Instead, the address type becomes its column. Previously: v7.4.2 and later: It is no longer possible to filter the Address page's References column. Previously: v7.4.2 and later: Filter icon does not appear when hovering over Ref. column. The option to sort addresses table by columns is removed. Previously: v7.4.2 and later: Changes to searching by TCP/UDP port number in Firewall Policy GUI: Previously, it was possible to search firewall policies using a portion of the port number. In v7.4.5 and later, the full port number or a portion of the service name must be used. In v7.4.2 to v7.4.4, there is a known issue 1013488 that prevents searching for firewall policy by port number. This is patched in later firmware versions.
