"qm importdisk" from GUI

[woodstock]

Hi everyone,

I'm evaluating Ubuntu cloud images on Proxmox like mentioned in the docs [1]. Cloud images are uploaded as *.img files to my ISO storage.
Working with qm commands everything works as expected:

qm create 9000 --memory 2048 --net0 virtio,bridge=vmbr0 --scsihw virtio-scsi-pci
qm set 9000 --scsi0 local-lvm:0,import-from=/path/to/bionic-server-cloudimg-amd64.img
qm set 9000 --ide2 local-lvm:cloudinit
qm set 9000 --boot order=scsi0
qm set 9000 --serial0 socket --vga serial0

Now I try to do the same using the GUI (we have some GUI-only users here) but GUI-only users seem to miss the qm importdisk / import-from equivalent.

Is there a way for GUI-only users to create a VM by importing a cloud image to the VMs harddisk?

I believe there is no equivalent GUI functionality.

There was some work done in this area, but it has not been released yet it seems:
