Description of problem: Syntax help can only be seen after you have opened a template. It would be better if there was a button on the main template window under templates > Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Red Hat Satellite (build: 6.4.0) foreman-1.18.0.0.3-1.el7sat.noarch Steps to Reproduce: 1. your_satellite_FQDN/templates/provisioning_templates/10-Alterator default/edit 2. select Help tab 3. Actual results: Syntax help can only be seen after you have opened a template. Expected results: Syntax help is generic and not template specific so should be accessible before opening a template
Let's move it for better UX.
While I agree the Help is not template specific, it's useful to switch between help tab and template tab since I mostly need to know, what helpers are available, during when I write the template. Stephen, could you describe where exactly you'd like to see the button and whether it should be moved or copied? I guess an input from Roxanne could be helpful too.

I never thought of that, on the other hand, if it was a button next to "Create Template" I could right click and open it in a new tab or window.

Somewhere near the "Create Template" button. I do not mind if its move or copied. Thank you
The goal for this change is to make the help available through docs. Currently we don't have a direct link that could be included in our docs, unless we link help tab of an existing template. How about extracting this into helper so the contents can be accessed from both places?
I guess that would work. Still not sure where we'd display that. Perhaps /templates/help (this is now missing the erb template, but route exists)
Stephen, I am going to put this on the backlog for now. This is just UX enhancement. Please instruct to user to visit Help tab in Template edit page for 6.4. Thanks.

OK, will use this bug for that task: Bug 1576234 - Discovery Rules Issues Once it is copied to the main template window the users will find it themselves. Thank you
Thank you for your interest in Satellite 6. We have evaluated this request, and while we recognize that it is a valid request, we do not expect this to be implemented in the product in the foreseeable future. This is due to other priorities for the product, and not a reflection on the request itself. We are therefore closing this out as WONTFIX. If you have any concerns about this, please do not reopen. Instead, feel free to contact Red Hat Technical Support. Thank you.
