Feature #5790
closedDefault "Deploy on" value for host groups.
Description
It would be great if it was possible to set the default value for "Deploy on" for host groups, to avoid having to choose that from the drop down every time a machine is provisioned.

Hey Michael, it's certainly still on my to do. I hoped I could close this feature request last foreman construction day in Belgium (Feb 2017). I was prepared to work on this... 1 detail I however forgot, the code which was ready to be continued from the year before was based on a 1.12 dev branch while at the time of the construction day the dev branch was versions ahead and the code from before didn't fit in anymore (too much had already changed). The only part which still needed to be looked at was the frontend javascript so I initially thought it was as good as finished :(
So I first need to review all I have and then try to remake it in the current dev branch. (fyi, tbrisker helped me with the initial code in 2016)
The whole foreman code in itself is still quite unfamiliar terrain for me, nevertheless I am interesting in solving it (even though im not really a developer)
My priorities at work however limit me from working on this further for the time being. In 2016 I was playing with Foreman in a sandbox environment and it was there all these ideas for enhancements originated in case we would decide to start using it here. Nowadays the decision has been made to actually use foreman to replace a custom made provisioning tool which was developed in-house to exactly match the customer. Replacing this combined with transitioning from Puppet Enterprise to OpenSource Puppet takes a lot of time. My management first wants to have provisioning moved from the old tool to foreman for the 1500 servers or so we have here.
As soon as the basics are working, I plan to continue on the enhancements like this feature request.
In short: this is not forgotten :)
