Problem:
Foreman silently removes quotes from values of hashes in parameters when storing them and also if erb is used.
In our use case it did so from the hardware address used in an interfaces hash which makes the mac address an integer (converted from hex to binary) instead of a string resulting a misconfigured network and connection loss.
Expected outcome:
A quoted string is really a string.
Foreman and Proxy versions:
Not sure in which version it broke, but it is still broken in 2.0
