We don't know the source storage*s*, we have only the limited info from
the Resource Store at that point. (vmid, vm name, isTemplate ... )

We could do here an API call to get the list of storages from the source
VM but I am not sure if a concatenated list of storages in the box will
be much readable.

As an alternative I was thinking of rewriting the emptyText as

Ext.String.format(gettext('Same as {0}'), vmid),

in the hope of making the new gettext string reusable.
