Description Kamudini Gazdikova 2016-03-18 07:02:17 UTC

Description of problem:

The run stage of a class can be specified in the ENC output simply as another parameter of the class (tested on 2.7.19), e.g.

test: 
  stage: foo

Currently Foreman only lets you specify declared parameters of a Puppet class in smart parameters, but this should be extended to include known meta-parameters http://docs.puppetlabs.com/puppet/latest/reference/metaparameter.html such as "stage". This would allow a user to set the run stage of a class from within Foreman (or tags, noop etc).

Thank you for your interest in Satellite 6. We have evaluated this request, and we do not expect this to be implemented in product in the forseeable future. We are therefore closing this out as WONTFIX. If you have any concerns about this, please feel free to contact Rich Jerrido or Bryan Kearney. Thank you.
