Description Lubomir Rintel 2016-03-29 13:14:27 UTC 
From the bug #748302 discussion it's apparent that the type option handling is more complicated than it should be:

* The properties should be mapped to properties declaratively
* The interactive mode should not re-ask for options/properties that are already set
* The per-property validation is redundant and should be removed
Comment 1 Thomas Haller 2018-03-14 13:54:51 UTC 
I think a lot changed in nmcli for 1.10.

Especially, we have now https://cgit.freedesktop.org/NetworkManager/NetworkManager/tree/clients/common/nm-meta-setting-desc.c?id=167e42a87e97ed7fb26a4263c22f1774716ac51b which adds a declarative approach to supporting options. While there is still a lot missing (especially "dynamic fields", like vpn.data, bond.options, user.data), it's a start.

It's not clear what is exactly requested here. I am closing as obsolete.
