If you don't switch the vdisk type, the image will always grow, and never shrink, as space once allocated is never released by the vdisk. This lets the vdisk shrink automatically.

theres a note there that says
>>>Note: If after this you edit the VM using the GUI editor these changes will be lost and will need to be redone.
if the option was in the GUI to add that unmap option , would it help? -

Serious question, how often do you change the size of your VMs? 100 times a day? 😂
The majority of users of Unraid, let me guess 95% or even more using Unraid in their home environment or in small offices. That small portion of "office people" will never use that feature as a "productivity" feature as you called it. To have that feature available via the GUI for everyone would be great as long as it is save. Don't get me wrong, but I have read a lot of people here in the chat that already broke there VMs by reducing the size of a vdisk.
no abt 3 times a month and also testing servers so once the standard 30gb is complete then its current long winded to keep expanding , just added another 12tb 6tb x 2 so i dont go all in i keep expanding them by 500gb until the user wishes to add more only when and only when do they really need it i will expand , my wife vm , sons vm . security system ,gaming vm/ steam os / and my remote backup linux system for when im away are only upgraded as and when it reduces the want to download and install everything online and in sight
at present i just use separate scripts to expand 500g at a time , for each vm and i also do a copy prior , no screwups ever as the img gets automatically dumped into the 20TB Backup once the script runs again it removes the previous
regarding reducing , thats something you have to fully understand , !! WARNING !! it theres no difference in accidentally removing and removing vm + disk .
truthfully i have never gone down only expanded , yet if a feature would ever exist a double confirm is all thats needed and maybe a backup just incase .
regarding the % of users 5% is not a bad amount of users considering how many use ups settings , the use of CA and installing an incorrect plugin that you dont know how to properly operate can kill a server as quickly as a negative downgrade in vm image . its a setting thats there for usefulness to some not all . its also the users operational knowledge and competency , if you dont know what you are doing and you ^^^^ it up , do users have to go without because of the few that bork their systems through no fault of their own ? -
Would 2FA be feasible with a new login page

@Pducharme You can resize a vdisk via the gui for a long time already if you not noticed it. But only if the VM is turned off. Leftclick the name of the VM in the VMs tab and you can see the actual size of the VM. Click the number and you can change the value. Last time I tried to reduce the size this way it worked. The issue is, unraid maybe knows how much is allocated, but it doesn't know where blocks are so to say. If your data is at the end of the file, unraid will cut it of. I know, you can reduce the partition size inside the VM and than reduce it, but still thats not a accurate way to do it.
Having already created a script what increase and decreases the img file its easier and more productive not to turn a running vm , time lost booting . shutting down and reloading all the programs up from boot , could take 10 mins or so , a simple increase by decrease by would be so beneficial to say the least time taken 5 seconds , thats productivity ... and no down time if running servers on vms

Maybe I'm missing something, but last time I checked, a PI runs ARM and unRaid is x86
before this gets off topic , its running under its own vm by the looks of it , as i said personally not doing it myself i have one of these

Just in case you are considering running it on that platform, it isn't recommended. USB, though allowed, often isn't a reliable connection for array or cache disks.
Understandable but as a micro docker for logging / statistics / home automation it should be suitable

I dont actually use Unraid on it at the moment but is there a RaspberryPi Icon as i know a few ppl that run it on those.
BTW its called Thermaltake Tower 900
