Horizon is not a reliable source to verify what parameters are mandatory, since it is another client (as python-glanceclient, i.e. glance CLI) for the glance API.
The command glance client doesn't actually require any parameter (not even an image name!) to process correctly, anyway in this case the image is only "queued". To have an image in the state "active" (i.e. actually created) it is necessary to specify the source (--file for local source or --location for URL), the disk format and the container format. It may be arguable why Horizon doesn't allow to only queue an image or why it forces to have a name for the created images, differently from python-glanceclient, anyway in my opinion these are more implementation choices than bugs. ** Changed in: glance Status: New => Invalid -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Yahoo!
