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 of problem:
If a provisioning template is associated with a HostGroup, nested HostGroups will still be associated with the Operating System default template. 
This is does not follow the usage patterns used elsewhere around HostGroups. In my opinion, it would be more intuitive to be able to set the provisioning template in the "operating system" tab of the HostGroup and let the value be inherited by nested HostGroups, just like most other values.

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


How reproducible:
Satellite 6.1.3

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create two host groups Foo/Bar, where Foo is a parent of Bar
2. Associate a custom provisioning template with Foo
3. Do note that hosts in the Bar HG, do not use the template associated with Foo.

Created redmine issue http://projects.theforeman.org/issues/14624 from this bug

This is an older bug which has been reported upstream. We are not going to track this bug downstream. When the upstream issue is resolved, the next build will contain the fix. Thank you.
