Bug #9108
closed
It's not possible to overwrite a default value of a parameter inherited from parent host group in nested host group
Added by Filip Brychta about 10 years ago.
Updated over 6 years ago.
Description
1 - create a new host group named 'parent' with global parameter named 'parameter1' with value 'parentValue'
2 - create a new host group named 'child' and set Parent to host group created in step 1. and change value of 'parameter1' to 'changed'
Result:
Value of 'parameter1' in 'child' host group is still 'parentValue'
Value of 'parameter1' in 'child' host group is editable but no change is applied.
this is indeed a bug.
Current workaround - the value can be overridden by adding a new global parameter with the same name, and overriding the value there.

Note that this workaround (duplicate parameters in the hostgroup) will lead to #8366
checked... didn't break anything... apparently the bug is that the shown parameter isn't actually something which exists in the DB, I'll investigate further as to why this happens.
