Description of problem:
Nested inheritance of hostgroup is not honored in Red Hat Satellite 6
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
6.14
How reproducible:
Consider the below scenario:
hostgroup HG1 is created with some params of LCE CV Content Soruce etc, now I create a nested hostgroup HG1/HG2 from it and change a param. thereafter I create another nested HG1/HG2/HG3 and the initial params for this hostgroup are of hostgroup HG1 and not HG1/HG2.
Expected results:
Ideally HG1/HG2/HG3 should by default have what HG1/HG2 has.
Additional info:
Workaround is to manually change the params.
Verified in Satellite stream snap 59:
satellite-6.16.0-0.5.stream.el9sat.noarch
rubygem-katello-4.13.0-0.3.pre.master.20240508152445git651453e.el9sat.noarch
By following the reproducer from comment 0,
nested group HG3 correctly inherits values from parent group HG2 and not from grandparent group HG1.
