Hi all,

I’m trying to tune my script for the creation of autoinstallation profiles. It works good as far as I’m using a template profile which I could clone.  
I’m adding variables to the cloned profile with spacecmd kickstart\_updatevariable and kernel options with cobbler profile edit.  
But how can I edit the content on the details page?

I’m currently using the following script in the template:

[CODE]\<?xml version="1.0"?\>

 $SNIPPET('spacewalk/autoyast/sles12sp3/main.xml') $SNIPPET('spacewalk/autoyast/sles12sp3/addon.xml') $SNIPPET('spacewalk/autoyast/sles12sp3/partition\_main.xml') $SNIPPET('spacewalk/autoyast/sles12sp3/software.xml') $SNIPPET('spacewalk/autoyast/sles12sp3/scripts.xml') [/CODE]

In the cloned profile I want to add the hostname as a subfolder to customize the partitioning or additional scripts for example.  
As I’m not familar with the API, I don’t know if there is a way to do it on that way…

Maybe someone could help me.

Thanks in advance!

Best regards

Matthias

Matthias, looks like noone on this forum can answer your question. Please open a support request and ask for an “l3 question” to get engineering attention.
