*** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 1473067 ***
This doesn't seem like the same problem as bug 1473067, why is it a dupe?
Because the code review for bug 1473067 changes the code in this area, I saw that it would be easier to fix the bug described here as it is a pretty minor change - So it isn't a duplicate but is blocked by the previous bug. Which wasnt an option in the dropdown. Should I leave this open, and connect it to the same gerrit review?
Okay I getcha. Duping this is fine as long as we note that this is fixed by the other bug's patch: https://gerrit.beaker-project.org/c/5756 including a test case for the problem described here: https://gerrit.beaker-project.org/c/5756/10/IntegrationTests/src/bkr/inttest/client/test_workflow_simple.py#28
