need support for 'use_shortname_for_vms' for all hosts not just vms
Added by Partha Aji over 7 years ago.
Updated almost 6 years ago.
Description
Few customers have requested support for wanting short host names and do not want domain names appended. They want to select domain names and want the resolv.conf info on their hosts filled correctly.
Issue http://projects.theforeman.org/issues/2975 handled some of this but was tagged as vm only. We need it to be generally applicable.

The description doesn't make much sense to me - the setting changes the name of the virtual machine, not the name of the host in Foreman. Hosts on CRs still have an FQDN.
This seems like a duplicate more of #11989, creating hosts without a domain.
The "shortname for VMs" setting should not be used to change the behaviour of the "name" field within Foreman, that is not its purpose - it's meant to only affect VM names.

Added a new setting "append_domain_name_for_hosts" that will now always be set. The user can unset this and in that case the domain name will not get attached.
