Can not change location

Support
1

Problem:

Tried to assign new location to a specific host.

I am getting the response:

Cannot update Location to location-name because of mismatch in settings

Which settings? What mismatch? I checked /var/log/foreman/production.log and did not find anything helpful here.

This is an error I have always seen and never investigated as there is a checkbox at the bottom of the form to ignore these errors and do the change anyway.

Hi Dirk,

yeah, saw that checkbox and used it now :wink: But I don’t like to continue any action if there are errors I don’t know :wink:
