I posted a while back about not being able to set the gateway for

the latest NetworkManager in F25.

It accepts the gateway and will work as expected, but every time
I
edit the connection afterward, I have to re-fill in my gateways
on
every individual route again - per connection.  If I never need
to
edit a VPN, no issue, but unfortunately I need to often edit
them.
This behavior just started (recently anyway - not sure the exact
commit).

Happens on all types (vpnc, openconnect, pptp).

Hi Greg,

Note that in nm-connection-editor a gateway of "0.0.0.0" is
identical
to leaving the field empty. Thus, if you edit a connection to have
gateway 0.0.0.0, next time when revisiting the connection the
gateway
is cleared.

That is true, but when I edit it again, it requires me to re-enter
0.0.0.0 before I can save it.  Would it be possible to add this as a
feature request to not have to add a gateway address (for manually
enetered routes) at all in the GUI?

doesn't happen to me. Either I am testing something different then you,
  or you are using an older version of the GUI, where a bug got fixed
recently.

Can you describe exactly where you are clicking? And which nm-
connection-editor version are you using? Or is it gnome-control-center?
