Hello everyone,

I’am unable to change the scm type to manual when i create a new project on AWX web ui.

It doesnt show any error i simply cant select it. Other type like Git works fine.

Here is what i have done.

First i created a new directory under /var/lib/awx/projects who match my new project name.  
I put in this directory my testplaybook.yml

I run some test, the playbook works fine on its own, by excuting him.

The directory have the same privileges as the other directories.

I’am at your disposal for any further questions. i’d be very glad if someone can help me with this.
