Tumbleweed installer asking to define root password

I’m reinstalling Tumbleweed today after having some unusual hardware issues. I’m using today’s image which is the 2024/02/26 one.
After going through guided partitioning and wiping all the partitions on my SSD, choosing my locale and creating my user, the installer is asking me to define a root password. Is this new?

@lavadrop when you created your user, where the boxes checked for admin (aka sudo) access? I don’t use that option as always set a root password.

Yes, the box was checked

@lavadrop then it could be an installer bug…

Yes it was, for other reasons I reinstalled again and now the installer didn’t ask me to define the root password while the option was checked.

For most of my installs, I am asked to set a root password.

That’s because I usually import users from the previous system.
