Carl Caum created an issue   Hiera / HI-599 Hiera cannot interpolate non-string values Issue Type: Bug Assignee: Unassigned Created: 2018/04/05 8:43 AM Priority: Normal Reporter: Carl Caum It is not possible for Hiera to interpolate non-string values from Facter. For example, the `selinux.enabled` fact has a Boolean value. However, in Hiera you cannot do something like: docker::selinux_enabled: %{facts.selinux.enabled} Instead, the user has to quote the facter fact code so it can be interpolated, like this: docker::selinux_enabled: "%{facts.selinux.enabled}" which inadvertently casts any non-string values to a string.
