Description Rainer Beyel 2019-11-18 15:04:19 UTC 
Description of problem:
  "Boot disk iPXE - host" can be cloned/customized and the custom values are shown within the System-Profile, but the generated "Host ISO" always contains the default template instead

Version-Release number of selected component:
  Satellite 6.6.0
  RHEL 8.0

How reproducible:
  1. Clone and customize "Boot disk iPXE - host"
  2. Create a new System-Profile and select the customized template
  3. Create a "Host ISO" from the new System-Profile

Actual results:
  Instead of the customized template the default template is used within the Host ISO

Expected results:
  The customized template is used

Additional info:
  Reproducer with Satellite 6.6 and RHEL 8.0 system profile

Hello, please use Administer - Bootdisk settings to set which template to use during rendering.
Comment 7 Lukas Zapletal 2020-01-06 15:32:15 UTC 
Bootdisk template job is to load iPXE which then makes another request to Satellite which is handled by other template called iPXE which can be associated per hostgroup or per host. Please work with the customer to utilize this or describe what exactly needs to be different per every single individual bootdisk generated.
