That's not a bug, that's by design. When you create a new device from the manufacturer cisco, the corresponding platforms are also displayed where cisco is set as the manufacturer.

So device manufacturer and platform manufacturer match each other.

The other way around: If no manufacturer is set for platforms, these can apply to devices of every manufacturer.

@cybarox is correct; the assignment of a manufacturer to a platform is optional and needed only when it is desirable to restrict the assignment of a platform to devices "owned" by a specific manufacturer.

I'm going to close this out as there is no action to be taken.

Ok, then I have misunderstood. I assumed that Windows 7, Windows 10, Server 2019, Server 2022 would be grouped together under Microsoft. :)

Therefore, the selection of VMs is unrestricted. Since there is no manufacturer here.

But then that was a thinking error on my part.
