Upstream bug component is Compute Resources
The patches were merged upstream: https://github.com/theforeman/foreman/pull/3308 https://github.com/abenari/rbovirt/pull/104 https://github.com/abenari/rbovirt/pull/106 Since the change was not that trivial, I advice not getting it into 6.1+ as it might cause conflicts with other potential 6.1+ backports later and lead to some instabilities.
We will not be addressing this bug in the 6.1 code base. If you have concerns with this, please feel free to reach out to me with any concerns or issues you may have. Thank you.
