Why can I not choose the storage destination of a powered-off VM when doing a migration?

As in title.

I setup a 2nd server in my lab to do testing, it only has a "local-lvm" storage. I setup some VMs on it. Now that I'm done testing - I'm decommissioning it and I need to move all my VMs off from this test server and onto my main one.

But when I go to migrate powered off VMs, I have no option to choose the location for VM's disks. But for powered on VMs - I get a choice.

Luckily, the VM I'm moving fits onto the destination storage so this isn't a huge issue. But what if it couldn't?
 
it's possible, just not on the GUI. qm migrate ...
