Description Frank Steinmetzger 2025-08-21 00:29:55 UTC 
SUMMARY
I just had to set up a new DAV calendar resource and discovered a bug in the process (#508543). But that bug only occurred to me because of the following behaviour, which IMHO is wrong.

I noticed that my new resource, which I set up using the manual setup, is called „Citadel“. I didn’t give it that name, but the word rang a bell. So I checked and confirmed:

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open the dialog to add a new DAV Groupware resource
2. Opt to set it up manually

OBSERVED RESULT
The display name is pre-filled with the type of resource that was last selected in the Server type dropdown. If it is pre-filled, one tends to overlook it, which causes the resource to get a wrong name, so it needs a correction later.

EXPECTED RESULT
I think it is better to leave the name field empty. The dialog cannot be submitted with an empty name field, so the user is reminded to fill it out.

DAV config: don't auto-fill display name for manual setup

If manual configutation is selected, the user must enter the
display name themselves by-hand.  The OK button is disabled
until a display name is entered.
