1. Proposed title of this feature request

   [RFE] When creating a repo, add ability to specify disabled by default

3. What is the nature and description of the request?

   When a repo is created under a Product in Red Hat Satellite, if that product already exists, hosts will immediately see that content once the content view is promoted.

4. Why does the customer need this? (List the business requirements here)

   Customer has a large environment with many miscellaneous tiny repos under an umbrella Product.   They routinely add repos to this product.   While the Product is made available to wide variety of servers, each individual repo is not intended to be made available everywhere and creating many different products would be complex and difficult to manage.    Whereas if the repos were disabled by default at creation time, they could be selectively enabled where appropriate.

5. How would the customer like to achieve this? (List the functional requirements here)

   Add an option to set the default state of the repo (enabled / disabled) upon creation.   

6. For each functional requirement listed, specify how Red Hat and the customer can test to confirm the requirement is successfully implemented.

   When creating a repo, it can be created as "Disabled" by default in a single action.

7. Is there already an existing RFE upstream or in Red Hat Bugzilla?

   No

8. Does the customer have any specific timeline dependencies and which release would they like to target (i.e. RHEL5, RHEL6)?

   No

9. Is the sales team involved in this request and do they have any additional input?

   No

10. List any affected packages or components.

   
11. Would the customer be able to assist in testing this functionality if implemented?

   Yes.
