Bug #7407

Cloning a hostgroup do not clone Puppet classes and parameters
Description
Hello,
I've tried to clone a hostgroup with an assigned set of configuration groups, Puppet classes and parameters.
However, the freshly created hostgroup has cloned only the fields Environment, Puppet CA and Puppetmaster. No puppet classes/parameters.

Also found in 1.6.0. When cloning a hostgroup, it seems to only clone the Puppet classes/configuration groups of the parent.

don't think this is an actual bug in current develop, added tests to make sure it keeps working.

It doesn't look like Puppet class parameter overrides (lookup values) are copied in either host group or host cloning, which is part of this bug report.

Works partially in 1.8.1, example:
1. Clone a hostgroup with a config group included.
2. In the Puppet classes pane, the config group is included but the classes in contains are not included
3. In the Parameters pane, the overriden parameters are not cloned

Another issue in 1.8.1 (dunno if it a normal behaviour):
1. Clone a hostgroup
2. Check that Puppetclasses and parameters are cloned: OK
3. Change the parent hostgroup
4. Check the overriden parameters: every overriden parameter has been lost
I've been able to clone a hostgroup by using the following procedure to avoid the loss of any overriden parameters:
1. Clone a hostgroup
2. Add a suffix to the hostgroup name to avoid the duplicate group definition (such as "-2")
3. Validate the hostgroup cloning
4. Update the newly created hostgroup
5. Remove the prefix and update the parent hostgroup
