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.

Connecting redmine issue https://projects.theforeman.org/issues/27445 from this bug
Moving this bug to POST for triage into Satellite 6 since the upstream issue https://projects.theforeman.org/issues/27445 has been resolved.
Moving to ON_QA as this is already in 6.7 snaps.
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.
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.
VERIFIED. @satellite-6.7.0-5.beta.el7sat.noarch tfm-rubygem-foreman_ansible-4.0.3-1.el7sat.noarch by the manual reproducer described in comment#0 >>> ansible variable array value remains ["test1","test2"] after successive edits
