      When viewing an interface's rules tab, also make the floating rules visible that apply to this interface.

      (I'm new to pfsense, just bought an XG-7100U.
      Maybe I'm getting it all wrong. Then I apologize in advance and please ignore my request.)

      I have a feature request for firewalling:
      When viewing an interface's rules tab, also make the floating rules visible that apply to this interface.

      Floating rules are greate so you don't have to create and manage multiple copies of the same rule for different interface.
      But on the other hand if you have more than 3 interfaces this system quickly gets confusing for me.
      For example, If I want to create new firewall rules or manage existing ones I always have to check floating rules first, keep them in mind, and then also check the interface's rules as well.

      That's prone to human errors.

      Why can't I see all floating rules that apply for the currently selected interface together with the interface's rules on one page?

      Also if you have more than 5 or 6 interfaces the selection box on the edit floating rule view is another predictable source of error as the selection list gets a scrolling box and does not show all selected elements at once.

      Am I missing something?
