Hello,
Newbie here, I’m sure I’m missing something, thanks in advance for any information.
I have found the Extra Variables section to be useful for storing not only variable alternative values (commented out), but limit hints as well (suggested server(s) to go to).
However I lost some information when it happened that there were no uncommented values. Tower deleted them upon saving the job template.
I figure I’m depending on a side-effect, so I saved all the extra var info in separate git repository, if some use comes along and gets it deleted, then I just have to paste back in.
Is there any way to prevent this at a server level or should I file a report?
Thanks!
p.s. I don’t want to fill out the Survey form for these variables and information, since yaml is more expressive and far less work. I also am trying to avoid separate documentation as in a wiki that nobody will read anyway. The yaml hints in their backup files can also help development of tower CLI scripts.
