Hosts should be able to inherit their environment from their hostgroup
Description
I have created a hierarchy of hostgroups with different environments assigned to them. When a new Puppet node is contacting the Puppet server, it is automatically created and shown in Foreman with a default 'production' environment. I then assign the node to its correct hostgroup, but it does not automatically inherit its environment from its hostgroup, as I would like.
It should be possible (perhaps optional) to have a node always inherit its environment from its hostgroup, so moving a node to a different hostgroup is easier and less error-prone.

Hi, I'm having the same issue.
I'm using the foreman_default_hostgroup plugin to add the nodes automatically to their hostgroups but they don't inherit the environment set for that group, they get the default 'production' environment.
Is there any fix or workaround to make it inherit the proper environment? It would really make things easier for new deployments.
Thanks

Inheritance is possible, but need to be manually set on the Host. I think that it means this issue is Resolved, if you feel it is not sufficient, please reopen with more info about how would you imagine this would work more automatically and we can have a look into that.
