Switching a host environment and keep its classes?

Support
1

Hi,

I see there's a bug concerning the action of changing a host environment and loosing the hostgroup classes :
http://projects.theforeman.org/issues/1477

Unless I'm mistaken, I'm also seeing this behavior (using formean 1.0) when the host has no hostgroup : when I switch the environment, all classes disappear.
It seems this bug hasn't been touched for a long time, and there's no comment in there : does someone know if there is a known work around ?

How do people switch hosts environments using foreman and without suffering from this ?

Thanks && regards

As a work around, you can simply use the mass assignment (using checkboxes)
at the hostlist

I've always wanted the same actions available in a drop down in the Host
show view but shame on me never filed a feature request.

[SCHAER Frederic] Hi Ohad,
Thanks, but it doesn't actually seem to change the behaviour : changing the environment still empties the class list :cry:
