Multi-select job option used default values if nothing is selected

[sinist...@gmail.com]

Hello all,

I've got a job with a job option configured that allows multiple selections from an allowed list. Let's assume it's :

- option1

- option2

- option3

Option1 is also the default value, so whenever you run a new job option1 is pre-selected.

Input for this option is not enforced. It can be empty.

However, deselecting everything and running the job will set the options value to option1.

I've made a simple job that just echo's out the value of the variable and I'm getting this :

Selected : option1 (default), Output : option1

Selected : option1,option2, Output : option1,option2

Selected : option3, Output : option3

Selected : nothing, Output : option1

*changed defaults to option2,option3

Selected : nothing, Output : option2,option3

Is there any way around this? I'd really like to leave the default value in place, so users do not forget it in 90% of the use cases, but also leave the option to unselect it if needed.

Hi!

Weird. I was able to see that behavior (on Rundeck 4.10.2) but after touching “required”/“restriction” parameters (and save it) it works as expected (your goal) . Could you try with the following job definition?

- defaultTab: nodes description: '' executionEnabled: true id: eac8952d-347d-4400-bc2f-945c7884267a loglevel: INFO name: Hiya nodeFilterEditable: false options: - delimiter: ',' multivalued: true name: user value: 'bob,charlie' values: - alice - bob - charlie valuesListDelimiter: ',' plugins: ExecutionLifecycle: null scheduleEnabled: true sequence: commands: - exec: echo ${option.user} keepgoing: false strategy: node-first uuid: eac8952d-347d-4400-bc2f-945c7884267a

Try editing the job, change some parameters like “restriction”, save your job and try again.

This could be a strange bug related to options.

Also, could you share your example job definition to take a look?

Thanks!

My mistake, you're right, if you don't select any option, Rundeck prints the default one. This is the default behavior. Please open a new issue here.

Thanks for taking the time to confirm this.

I've opened #8314 on the issue tracker, fingers crossed.
