Yes, this is by design.

I couldn't come up with a way for a web interface to dynamically adjust so
that, for example, when you select a package with several services, you
get input boxes for all of them.  With a different interface, say, Tk or
Gtk, this wouldn't be a problem; you just create new widgets for each
service on the fly.

This is a bug and is fixed in 1.2.2.
