Description of problem: When invoking a remote execution job from RH Satellite's web UI, in the 'Target hosts and inputs' step, filtering by 'Host Group', then selecting a parent host group only selects the hosts associated with this host group, but not the hosts associated with the child host groups. Child host groups need to also be selected in order for the hosts associated with them to be included as targets of the remote execution job. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Red Hat Satellite 6.13 How reproducible: Always. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Login to Red Hat Satellite's web UI. 2. Navigate to Host -> Job Templates. 3. Click on 'Run' corresponding to the job template to be used for remote execution. 4. In the second step 'Target hosts and inputs', select the 'Host groups' filter from the drop-down menu to the left, then expand the drop-down menu to the right. 5. Select a parent host group from the list. Actual results: Only hosts associated with the selected parent host group are included as targets for the remote execution job. Hosts associated with child host groups are not included. Expected results: By just selecting the parent host group, all hosts associated with it as well as with each of its child host groups are included as targets for the remote execution job.
This is possible to accomplish even now, even though it is slightly more involved than just picking a hostgroup from a list. As an example, one can switch to search query and use "hostgroup_fullname ~ A/B/*" to match hostgroup B nested under hostgroup A and all the hostgroups nested below B
