CT templates

[Hot-cheetos]

Hello,

I’m new to the community and have a question regarding the Proxmox VE Web GUI.

Is it possible to determine the format of a template (e.g., tar.gz, qcow2, etc.) directly from the Web GUI, without downloading it or checking via the CLI?
When viewing the list of available templates in the GUI, I don’t see any column indicating the format.

Thanks in advance.

the template file name is included in the api call, but not currently shown on the webui

but on the cli it's shown:

pveam available

if i may ask, why do you want to know the format? this should not matter really how it's compressed?
also lxc templates are always tarballs (with various compressions) so there is no qcow2 template there

I am working on a school project where i control my Proxmox container using Webex.
It's that in the Webex-chatroom if i send the command "#Create-container" i have to give different options like the storage of the node and the hostname of the machine and what template do i want to give that certain machine.
When i give a template name it checks if it is already downloaded in the database. If not, it download it from itself.
That's why i want the exact format of the template that i want to download.
