Since this issue was entered in Red Hat Bugzilla, the release flag has been
set to ? to ensure that it is properly evaluated for this release.
Sorry, I should have clarified my urges (-:
Yes, if I click submit, I'm thrown back into the host creation dialogue and the root password is highlighted in red saying
"should be 8 characters or more and should not be blank - consider setting a global or host group default"
(Which is kind of ironic now that I think of it...)
The same message is also repeated in /var/log/foreman/production.log
I'm struggling to reproduce this in any way. Could you run: sudo -u foreman psql -c 'select id,title,root_pass from hostgroups;' to list what's stored in the DB. Perhaps also try editing the host group again and ensure the password is set.
