      Before upgrade to 23.05 I did a snapshot.
      I gave the snapshot the name "2305" and description"2305". I did not yet upgrade, because:

      Strange: The UI now shows that snapshot's name as "0".

      When I try to edit the name it does not recognize the snapshot because each time I click on the pencil it brings me to the "clone" dialog where I can create a new snapshot.

      When I try to delete the snapshot it gives the error message:
      The following input errors were detected:
      Unable to delete boot environment "0". Error 3

      What happened? How do I get rid of this snapshot?

        zfs list shows the "2305" snapshot.
        bectl list shows it, too.

          is it ok to do a
          bectl destroy -o 2305
          and everything is fine again and the "0" entry in pfSense UI is gone?

            Well, I deleted the BE (bectl). Went fine.

            Did it again: Create BE with name "2305"
            Result: You get a BE named "0" and cannot edit or delete it.

            So this can be reproduced. May this is a bug?

              That is a known issue that should be fixed on 23.05 already:
