AllocateLike has a new UI and it is not working

[jellypuno]

Zowe Explorer v1.15.0 has updates for allocate like and I don't remember discussing it. It has new UI and it is not working. Did we have an agreement to change the UI for allocate like?

Hello, can someone else check this? I also cannot allocate like, but the CLI is receiving the correct new DS name & correct "like" DS name from ZE.

Also @jellypuno I am not sure what has changed for UI on allocate like, I think it is the same as before? We could add the name of the original data set as a value in the input box for the new DS's name...

That's weird. Earlier it is asking me for a model dataset that I would like to use to allocate like.

[jellypuno]

Now it is how I expected it 🤔

Is the attributes correct? Do you think it got affected by the editing of attributes?

[katelynienaber]

Yes, I think if you try to do it through the command palette, it should ask you for this. Because you don't have one selected...

So, maybe it's a bug, though I'm not sure how you could call the function without passing it a node, if you right-clicked on the node to Allocate Like P:

It doesn't ask for attributes, it just asks for the name of the data set you want to copy from, and the name to give the new copy. Those were both correct when I checked but I'm still getting error 500. I will try with postman...
