Description

I currently have three EL8 distributions in my foreman installation: AlmaLinux 8, CentOS Linux 8 and CentOS Stream 8.

When I create/build a new host, I have to select the operating system first. If I select "CentOS_Stream-8" I have the option to select "Synced Media". If I do that it fills the "Synced Content" dropdown with multiple options.

Those options, however, are regardless of the operating system I have selected before. The options are the base os repositories for AlmaLinux 8, CentOS Linux 8 and CentOS Stream 8. And what actually gets installed depends on the synced media you have selected.

I think, the synced media list should be limited to the media for the selected operating system and not simply show all EL8 BaseOS repositories of any EL8 distribution.

Second problem: the synced content dropdown only shows the repository label and nothing about the product. In my case, the BaseOS repository for each of those products has the label "BaseOS_x86_64_os", thus it's impossible to distinguish which product media I have actually selected. The dropdown should contain the product name or product label as well to make clear which product is actually used (unless the first problem has been solved and the selection is limited to that product anyway...)
