Moving this to Repositories component since the bug is not actually is a hammer bug, but rather Katello API is missing description parameter for repositories creation via API.

Comment 4 Julio Entrena Perez 2020-03-19 16:05:36 UTC

Oleh, the web ui can add and display descriptions for custom repositories, doesn't the web ui use the API as well?

Comment 5 Oleh Fedorenko 2020-03-19 16:22:48 UTC

Julio,

I'm not sure how exactly Katello manages their UI, but in nightly API documentation (which is used by hammer) I don't see anything that could be used to add descriptions while creating/updating repositories through API.

Comment 6 Bryan Kearney 2020-04-22 20:20:49 UTC

Moving this bug to POST for triage into Satellite 6 since the upstream issue https://projects.theforeman.org/issues/29555 has been resolved.

Comment 18 Stephen Wadeley 2020-09-11 15:01:13 UTC

Hello

while hammer repository create and hammer repository update now work with --description, there is no help output.
Raised this bug for that:

Bug 1878202 - No help output for hammer repository description

Thank you
