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 Nagoor Shaik 2023-02-08 11:04:08 UTC 
Description of problem:
Installable errata from Content View setting must be set to True

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Satellite 6.13

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Check the "Installable errata from content view" setting from the Administer > Settings > Content tab which is set to False

Actual results:
Installable errata from content view setting is set to False by default

Expected results:
As an end-user, this is an important setting to report the correct errata that a host is missing otherwise it would be misleading on the number of errata that is shown for each content host.

Is this a regression from Satellite 6.12?  Thanks!
Comment 2 Nagoor Shaik 2023-02-13 03:42:43 UTC 
Hello Brad,

"No" is the default setting in previous versions of Satellite as well, we have to manually turn it on for the errata reporting to be correct.
Comment 3 Ian Ballou 2023-02-15 17:52:09 UTC 
This sounds like a good idea at a glance. Would be very easy to fix.

Created redmine issue https://projects.theforeman.org/issues/36124 from this bug
Comment 5 Jeremy Lenz 2023-02-17 15:40:46 UTC 
Turns out that this setting is about whether to base your host's errata status on installable or applicable errata. I'm updating the setting's full name and description so that others don't have to wonder. However, I don't think it'd be wise to change the default value of this setting for all users. I think basing the host errata status on applicable errata is what most users expect, and changing defaults shouldn't be done lightly.

To verify: 

Only verify that the setting description and wording changed (we didn't change the default value.)
