Better option would be to allow usage of families of images..

Then you could just add family name for your image and it would choose last on for you..

Family is better option..

We have that now with templates. Will that suffice?

I can't check because i got an error after update GCE plugin 1.0.7 -> 1.0.8
```

Were you trying to use a template? What exactly were you trying to do that created this error?

Closing as templates are fixed now and will address your issues.

If you need to re-open, please see the following as we are migrating off JIRA:
