Hi there,

my understanding is that we can first add the multiple items to the MIQ shopping cart and on pressing the order button , they will be submitted for the approval. However , what I have noticed is that the added items to the shopping cart are immediately submitted for the approval before even the order button is pressed. Not sure if I am missing some configuration or its a bug. can some one help me with this.

I have noticed this with manageiq/manageiq:oparin-1.1 and the recent version manageiq/manageiq:quinteros-2.1

@Fryguy I think this is an API issue. The UI is calling this API endpoint to add it to the cart.

return CollectionsApi.post('service_orders/cart/service_requests', null, null, { action: 'add', resources: [ request ] })

But after this API call is run to add it to the cart it is also ordering it which is why it shows up in the UI-Classic reports table. It seems like the API is both adding it to the cart and ordering it at the same time with this API call.
