I am trying to modify security policies in a device group. When I try to do so I want to select a zone which was defined in a template which which these devices are associated. However nothing appears in the drop down box. Even more surprising, if I try to add an address or address group, if I click Add and select the drop down utility, it is likewise empty. The PANOS is 8.09. Has anyone seen this behavior? How to fix?

Hardware-based firewalls provide more sophisticated protection for inbound and outbound traffic than the simple Windows software firewall or the basic NAT firewalls found in routers. These devices implement techniques such as stateful packet inspection, deep packet inspection, and content filtering; and may include built-in antivirus and anti-malware protection.

Hardware Firewalls

Security is the protection of information systems from theft or damage to the hardware, the software, and the information on them, as well as from disruption or misdirection of the services they provide. The main goal of security is protecting assets, and an asset is anything of value and worthy of protection.  Information Security is a discipline of protecting information assets from threats through safeguards to achieve the objectives of confidentiality, integrity, and availability or CIA for short. On the other hand, disclosure, alteration, and disruption (DAD) compromise the security objectives.
