SUMMARY

Spinoff idea from initial host filter lookup PR: https://github.com/ansible/awx/pull/7644#issuecomment-669441224 Also related: https://github.com/ansible/awx/issues/7850 https://github.com/ansible/awx/issues/4208

The host filter modal only displays a list of host "names". Since the purpose of this modal is to help the user filter hosts, we could provide a better user experience by showing more filterable host information in the list view.

Some ideas include:

  1. Adding more columns to the host list
  2. Adding an expandable area with host content

Research direction
Examine the existing host filter modal implementation in the AWX frontend codebase, particularly the component handling host list display. Review the referenced PR #7644 for context on the initial host filter lookup feature. Investigate how to add more columns or an expandable area to display additional host information. Consider the design ideas from the proof of concept gif.
