What's wrong with Cisco's software

Here is what's wrong: They obviously do not do quality control on their software.

Here is the proof: That is a warning message one gets when completing a Local Username NetConfig job instance.
Warning:

If you have selected Local credential in Common Parameters pane and Secret credential in IOS Parameters pane as Disable then Secret credential is updated in the Credentials database.

If you have selected Local credential as No Change in the Common Parameters pane and selected Disable for Secret credential in the IOS Parameters pane, then Secret credential is updated in the Device and Credentials database.

If you have selected Local credential as Disable in the Common Parameters pane, and selected No Change for Secret credential in the IOS Parameters pane, then Local credential is updated in the Device and Credentials database.

That message is as cryptic as this one -- But that is not the problem I am babbling about here.

The problem is: There is no Disable option, anywhere, period!

You can see in the second screen shot: There is No Change, Add, and Remove. But there is no Disable.

It's not like this is the first release of the software. It is CiscoWorks LMS 3.2.1.

[Edit 2011-06-01]: Here is another proof I almost forgot and got reminded today.
