Description

This is when you override a parameter from the host_group. If your parameter is an invalid value, you click submit and it says it successfully saved your host_group. It returns to the main host_group page. It hasn't saved your parameter and doesn't show that you submitted an invalid parameter. You have to return to the host_group you were working on to see that no parameter was saved.

Booleans just don't save, although by all appearances the edit was successful. #4469 should fix that by making it a drop down.

For other errors like a malformed array, it's a rails error, but the user should probably be returned to the edit form and the bad field should highlighted red to be consistent with other parts of the UI.

This also applies to 1.8.1 if a validator rule is set, and the override value doesn't match. In addition to overrides done from a hostgroup edit, it also fails for host parameter overrides with the same behavior.

Tested this with nightly, errors are now shown for hostgroup and host overrides.
