Description of problem:  While creating a child/nested hostgroup PXE loader value is not inherited from the Parent hostgroup


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):  sat 6.3 snap 12


How reproducible:
 always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create parent_hostgroup providing architecture, operating system and PXE loader
2. Navigate to Configure -> Host groups -> Nest parent_hostgroup

Actual results:

PXE loader value is not inherited (Inherit parent (no value)).

Expected results:
PXE loader should be inherited from the parent hostgroup.


Additional info:

Connecting redmine issue http://projects.theforeman.org/issues/18381 from this bug

This should be fixed in upstream now, moving to POST

this bug prevents provisioning of hosts if the HG doesn't have the pxe loader set.
The NULL value causes the grub configs are not being placed anywhere on TFTP (not even pxelinux.cfg).

Sure, this is not a blocker but important bug that must be in z-stream pretty soon.

WORKAROUND: Set PXE loader for host instead of hostgroup.

VERIFIED

Version tested:
Satellite 6.4 snap 8

Nesting hostgroup successfully inherit pxeloader value.(see attachment)
