Problem:
We have set default Puppet Environments in hostgroups to be inherited by hosts created in that HG. Since we updated our test environment from Foreman 2.5.4/Katello 4.1 to Foreman 3.2.1/Katello 4.4.1, this inheritance does not work anymore when creating hosts via API.
In 2.5, creating a host via API request inherited the environment from the HG if not explicitly sent, in 3.2 we end up with a host without assigned Puppet environment, breaking host installation workflows.
Creating a host manually via the UI still works, but I assume this is caused by the UI handling inheritance and host creation very differently.
Expected outcome:
Host is created with the Puppet environment inherited correctly from the hostgroup.

Other relevant data:
Here is an example request as received by Foreman (from production.log) :
2022-08-24T09:56:59 [I|app|2e7b946c] Parameters: {"host"=>{"name"=>"server.example.com", "location_id"=>2, "organization_id"=>1, "compute_resource_id"=>4, "compute_profile_id"=>1, "hostgroup_id"=>202, "compute_attributes"=>{"cpus"=>1, "corespersocket"=>1, "memory_mb"=>3072, "extra_config"=>{"snapshot.alwaysAllowNative"=>true}}, "interfaces_attributes"=>[{"identifier"=>"eth0", "name"=>"server", "subnet_id"=>2, "domain_id"=>1, "managed"=>true, "provision"=>true, "primary"=>true, "compute_attributes"=>{"type"=>"VirtualVmxnet3", "network"=>"redacted"}}, {"identifier"=>"eth1", "name"=>"server-2nd-name", "subnet_id"=>32, "domain_id"=>1, "managed"=>true, "provision"=>false, "primary"=>false, "compute_attributes"=>{"type"=>"VirtualVmxnet3", "network"=>"redacted2"}}], "host_parameters_attributes"=>[{"name"=>"owner_mail", "value"=>"[FILTERED]"}, {"name"=>"ticketnr", "value"=>"[FILTERED]"}], "lookup_values_attributes"=>"[FILTERED]", "build"=>true}, "apiv"=>"v2"}
I would assume this is somehow caused by the Puppet ENC extraction, but since I could find absolutly no bug reports about this, maybe something on our end broke.
If you need any more info/logs, let me know.
