Alarm definition differences in HTML5 and flash

I'm trying to understand what is happening but the new view of alarm definitions in HTML 5 is confusing.

Especially if you have multiple triggers and the all should be true (instead of any).

The flash version shows the correct interpretation but in HTML5 in the overview it seems like it is an OR relationship.

The default alarm "Host connections and power state" for example has 2 triggers, and they should be both true before the alarm is set.

in the flash version it are 2 triggers, and you can choose if ANY or ALL trigger conditions need to be met.

In HTML5 you see 2 rules (besides the reset rule).... but there is no way to tell if or both rules should be met or if any rule should be met.

So when adding an email addres to this rule in HTML 5, all hosts will show en critical error, because of the HTML5 interpretation of the definition (OR)....

yikes !!!!

Also another issue

You can add multiple triggers to a rule in HTML 5, but the flash version doesn't understand it. Especially when you mix different kind of triggers (performance or state triggers)

And if you use powercli to change settings (like e-mail addresses).... then you have an issue with multiple e-mail addresses.....

Workaround, create for each e-mail a new action

Any one else have seen these issues... and have a workaround ?

I'm working with vSphere 6.7 U1, build 11338799
