So when are they going to make sure that everything can be done in the New Central and will they make it so that we aren't going through several nested screens to get done what needed to be done in Classic at a fraction of the time? The new interface makes no sense whatsover. I'm kicking myself to for migrating to the New Central.

The Firmware update in New Central is currently 'selective available'. For most customers, firmware updates are still ran from Classic Central:
Enabling the feature can be requested through your local HPE Networking SE/Sales Team.

Subject: Updating Firmware in New Central
In New Central, when I try to set a firmware update policy for my AP's (AP-755) or Switches (CX-6200M), I get this error: "Firmware Policy Creation is currently available only for Bridge devices. Access for other device types is under Select Availability." and I cannot proceed.
Does anyone know if this is expected behavior or is there a way to get around this and proceed? How am I to update my firmware given this prohibition?
Is there a way for me to turn on Select Availability for my tenant?
Thanks!
