Red Hat Satellite engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on Satellite to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "Satellite project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs will be migrated starting at the end of May. If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "Satellite project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/SAT-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Corey Welton 2014-06-11 15:26:19 UTC
Description of problem:
The contents of "Host Group" affects the contents of the two drop downs ("Environment", "Content View")that exist below the "Deploy on" field. As such, these three fields should be grouped together.  A side effect of this, however, is  that if user selects a group and then quickly selects a provisioning type ("Deploy on"), the UI gets refreshed after group/environment/content view are populated, and the user's selection is reset.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

Satellite-6.0.3-RHEL-6-20140605.0

How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Assure you have at least one host group created and at least one provisioning type other than baremetal created (i.e., libvirt)
2.  Hosts > New Host 
3.  begin populating fields;  choose a group from your Host Groups list and then quickly select a provisioning type in "Deploy on". 
4.  Wait for UI to refresh with contents for Environment, Content View;  observe results.

Actual results:
Once the appropriate values are auto-filled -- i.e., the page has been refreshed -- the user's deploy method selection has been reset.

Expected results:
Something a little more user-friendly.  Reversing the location of these two fields solves two issues:
* It appropriately positions the "Host Group" field with the two accompanying fields that rely on its input
* It makes it much less likely that user's selection for "Deploy on" gets reset.


Additional info:
Current workaround is to select "deploy on" method first, or simply wait for UI to completely refresh after selecting Host Group.

Comment 2 Dominic Cleal 2014-06-11 15:44:09 UTC
The fields are laid out this way deliberately, as this is a performance enhancement and it'll be much slower if swapped back (http://projects.theforeman.org/issues/3218 has background).

I would suggest "Deploy on" is either disabled temporarily while host group is reloading, or we're careful to keep the user's deploy on selection when the form is reloaded.
