Description

Found on the instance create form – for example with the boot disk. In this case the bar bar becomes its own input – "Source type", but the interaction is unclear.

The easiest fix would be to use a regular radio group. But that makes switching type feel smaller than it should.

Also considering opening a modal, and clicking save or select to apply the boot disk. And the result can show up summarised in a mini table. It's clearer I think – but does add an extra step to open the modal first.

Start with the instance create form, specifically the boot disk and “Source type” interaction described in the issue. Compare the radio-group and modal approaches, then consider the work done when switching the source type is clear and the selected boot disk is visibly summarized.
