Red Hat Satellite engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on Satellite to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "Satellite project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs will be migrated starting at the end of May. If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "Satellite project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/SAT-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Brian Smith 2019-08-30 20:22:14 UTC 
Description of problem:
Escape backslashes added to value each time Ansible array variable is edited in Satellite 6.6 beta in web interface

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Satellite 6.6 public beta

How reproducible:
every time

Steps to Reproduce:
- Go to Configure->Variables(Under Ansible Header)
- Click New Ansible Variable
- Name variable and assign to existing role
- Override, and set type to Array
- Set array value to ["test1","test2"]
- Click Submit
- Open variable for editing again, value is now:  "[\"test1\",\"test2\"]"
- Don't change anything, click Submit
- Open variable for editing again, value is now: "\"[\\\"test1\\\",\\\"test2\\\"]\""
- Each time the variable is opened and Submit is clicked, this pattern is repeated and additional backslashes are added.  

Actual results:
Backslashes are added to value each time variable is edited.  

Expected results:
Value remains the same, without escape backslashes added

Connecting redmine issue https://projects.theforeman.org/issues/27445 from this bug
Comment 4 Bryan Kearney 2019-11-14 11:02:36 UTC 
Moving this bug to POST for triage into Satellite 6 since the upstream issue https://projects.theforeman.org/issues/27445 has been resolved.
Comment 5 Ondřej Pražák 2019-11-26 12:00:09 UTC 
Moving to ON_QA as this is already in 6.7 snaps.
Comment 6 Francisco Peralta 2019-12-03 10:17:56 UTC 
Dear Ondrej,
 my customer is asking if it would be possible to also have a hotfix on top of 6.6 for them to proceed with their timeline: what do you think?

Thanks in advance,
 Cisco.
Comment 8 Ondřej Pražák 2019-12-16 07:51:01 UTC 
I can't promise this will end up in 6.6.z, the target release(s) will be decided during regular triage sessions based on the capacity and priorities.
Comment 10 Lukas Pramuk 2020-01-30 13:04:46 UTC 
VERIFIED.

@satellite-6.7.0-5.beta.el7sat.noarch
