When cloning an entry using the Bulk Host Cloning wizard, group inheritance seems to be creating a blank host group, and adding the new clone both to the original (cloned host) group, plus a new blank (and inactive) host group, meaning the newly cloned host has two assigned groups, despite one being blank, inactive and unnamed;
you end up with a blank host group added to the group list, and two host groups listed against the cloned host, see two images below:
Same thing happens if you physically name the required hostgroup in Field3 (Field1 name/Field2 ip), or if you save a template naming the required group, and select this to use in the wizard.
If you add a server entry manually without using the Bulk Clone wizard, you only get the one (proper) group assigned.
Happening on two servers, with XI v5.4.6 and v5.3.1.
Only way around it is to remove the extra group membership, and delete the blank group afterwards, however creating another cloned host simply creates another blank group, so it is repeating all over again.
Seems very similar to the blank parent host issue linked above?
