Katello 2.2 Activation Keys won't save in host groups

Support
1

I have created a host group called CentOS 6 Hosts.

I am trying to add an activation key. I have created an activation key
called "CentOS 6 Activation Key"

When I add it to the activation keys tab when editing the CentOS 6 Hosts
host group, and save, the message indicates all settings were saved
successfully.

The problem is that when I load the group back up for editing, the
activation keys field is empty.

The hosts are not getting provisioned as content hosts during the
provisioning phase either, so I know it's not just a display issue.

I thought there was an issue filed for this but I am struggling to find it.
If you can, let me know so I can prioritize it, otherwise please file one
and we will work on it.

You can also use hammer:

hammer hostgroup set-parameter --hostgroup HOSTGROUPNAME --name
"kt_activation_keys" --value "ACTIVATIONKEYNAME"
