Summary

There is an inconsistency in the Droplet creation interface when selecting the Snapshot tab.

Steps to Reproduce:

Go to Create Droplet

Select the Snapshot tab

Observe that region NYC1 is pre-selected by default

Notice the error message:

"Cannot restore snapshot in this region"

Change region to NYC2

Change back to NYC1

Observed Behavior

Initially, NYC1 shows an error saying the snapshot cannot be restored in that region.

After switching to another region and back (NYC2 → NYC1), the error disappears.

The snapshot becomes selectable in NYC1 without issues.

Expected Behavior:

If NYC1 is a valid region for the snapshot, it should not show an error initially.

If NYC1 is not valid, it should consistently show the error.

UI state should be consistent without requiring manual region toggling.

Impact:

Confusing UX during infrastructure setup

May lead users to choose incorrect regions or think snapshots are unavailable

Slows down provisioning workflow

Suggested Fix:

Ensure region validation runs correctly on initial load

Synchronize snapshot availability with region selection state

Revalidate snapshot-region compatibility on page load

Environment:

Platform: DigitalOcean Web UI

Feature: Droplet Creation → Snapshot tab

Additional Notes:

This appears to be a frontend state synchronization issue between region selection and snapshot validation.
