Bug #18742
closedUndocumented behavior with assigning all entities by specifying option with no value
Description
Cloned from https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1359852
Description of problem:
There is an undocumented behavior on assigning entities using '--<entity>-ids' and providing no value - ALL entities will be assigned.
Omitting the key will assign no entities.
e.g.:
<not specifying "--domains" nor "--domain-ids" options>

- as you can see on the 2nd try, there is a GET request to fetch all domains first in order to pass the returned list to a POST request.
This behavior is not documented in hammer docs.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
hammer-cli-foreman 0.9.0
How reproducible:
always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. have some domains created with no assignments
2. create an entity (e.g. Organization) without providing e.g. --domains option: hammer -u admin -p changeme organization create --name cli_org_1
3. create an entity (e.g. Organization) without providing e.g. --domains option: hammer -u admin -p changeme organization create --name cli_org_2 --domains
4. compare the Domain assignments.
Actual results:
none vs. all entities assigned
Expected results:
Hammer should support a special flag for specifying 'all'.
