Foreman 2.1 with Katello 3.16 hostgroup and image-based(vmware) deployment. Unable to resolve provisioning template

Problem: Unable to resolve provisioning template when creating a new host via image-based provisioning method with a configured host group.
In exactly the same configuration without using the hostgroup itself, the template is resolved.
In the properties of the template, there is an association with the host group.

Expected outcome:
Provisioning template resolved as same as it resolved without hostgroup
Foreman and Proxy versions:
foreman-2.1.1-1 and lower
Foreman and Proxy plugin versions:
katello-3.16.0-1 and lower
Distribution and version:
any rpm-based 6/7/8

Hi guys.
Any suggestions? Maybe need more information?

@galapesh thanks for bringing this issue to our attention. I’ll see if someone on our team can comment on this.

Hi.
I upgraded our foreman to 2.4 and katello to 4.0. Looks like problem is still there.
Or maybe i’m missing something?
