[Katello 2.2 RC] Choosing a content source on the host tab does not override the installation media

In Katello 2.2 Choosing a content source on the host tab does not override
the installation media dropdown on the operating system tab.

According to Feature #8781: Use Content View as installation source - Katello - Foreman If I choose a
lifecycle environment, content view, and content source on the first tab
when creating a new host, when I go to the operating system tab, the
installation media dropdown is supposed to be replaced with a url that will
be used as the install source. This does not happen.

The content source is still used, as I can see in my kickstart file after
the host is provisioned.

In that issues page listed above it says using this method is also supposed
to disable the default repos on the installed system. This is not working
either (at least for Fedora 20). Although the content source is used for
the install, the default repos remain enabled after the system is installed.

Any word on this? I have now installed Katello 2.2 release and the issue
still exists.

What content view and environment did you select? Was that kickstart
tree repo added to the content view, published, and promoted to the
selected environment?

This isn't actually true at all. We currently don't have a way to
disable all the default repos.

What are you seeing in the content source box? All available installation
media?

I am not sure what you mean by "kickstart tree repo" but the screenshot
attached shows that the content view exists in all lifecycle environments
and is published and promoted properly.

If you look at my last reply to Eric, I show screenshots of that content
view being used on the host creation page.

So has anyone gotten this to work properly?

In the content source box, I am not seeing any installation media, only a
list of servers. I choose the server that hosts that content view that I
have selected.

In the second screenshot you can see the installation media dropdown. This
is just standard installation media created through the regular
installation media tab and not connected to any content view. It is the
only option on the list.
