Problem:
The “Content View” for parent hostgroups are set to “Inherit parent (no value)”. The “Content View” for the ultimate child hostgroup is set to an arbitrary CV. In my example, it is “CV-SRV-EL8-X86_64-BM-WAP”. Upon re-opening the child hostgroup, the UI incorrectly states that the content view is “Inherit parent (CV-SRV-EL8-X86_64-BM-WAP)”. Attempts to save the unmodified hostgroup fail until the CV is set manually to “CV-SRV-EL8-X86_64-BM-WAP”.
Expected outcome:
There should be no child inheritance of the parent’s CV if the child’s CV is set manually. The CV should not need to be set manually each time the hostgroup needs to be updated/saved.
