Hi Matt,

I'm afraid I don't understand the issue from the description above, could you please elaborate?

The Enable_Smart_Variables_in_ENC setting should control whether smart class parameters are included in the ENC output or not, which I think is your first point, and is correct behaviour. The default is enabled, which provides class parameters (for Puppet 2.6.5+), but setting to false will revert to just a list of classes (Foreman 1.0 behaviour).

This setting has unexpected side effects. With it set to False, it will cause the Class list to become an Array (same as Enable Parameterized Classes in ENC). But since Smart Variables only go into the global Parameters section of the ENC, this is nonintuitive - setting it to False causes Param Classes to stop working too.

Ah, sorry, I'd muddled the names of the settings. That makes sense now.

We should either document that this setting must also be true, or (better) fix the code so this setting only affect the Parameters section.

Agreed with the latter, it's more useful that they are independent of each other.
