Metadata propagation doesn't do anything about hawtio-operator HOT 4 CLOSED

ahh maybe I don't understand the setting correctly - is it like a filter for which labels and annotations from the Hawtio CR to propagate?

Looking at the code, I believe you can add Annotations and Labels to the Hawtio CR. By default, all of these will be propogated to the operand resources. The metadataPropagation filters the propogation by pattern matching. Not sure why this function is part of the operator as does not appear massively useful to me but maybe users require it??

yes it's requested by a user. if you dig into the code history you'll find the ticket number.

This is working correctly and functions by propogating labels / annotations that are added to the CR via the propogation filtering.

apiVersion: v1
items:
- apiVersion: hawt.io/v1
  kind: Hawtio
  metadata:
    annotations:
      awesome.com/env: dev
      awesome.com/param1: value1
      awesome.com/param2: value2
      noprop.com/noprop: nothing
    labels:
      env: dev
      param1: value1
      param2: value2
    name: hawtio-online
  spec:
    auth:
      clientCertCheckSchedule: '* */12 * * *'
      clientCertExpirationPeriod: 24
    config:
      metadataPropagation:
        annotations:
        - awesome.com/*
        labels:
        - env
        - param*
...

So the annotations and labels added to the metadata section of the CR above are propogated to the resources of the hawtio-online operand, with the exception of noprop.com/noprop which is not included in the metadataPropogation property.
