I've got three roles defined in my control repo: `desktop_common`, `desktop_office`, and `desktop_developer`. I'm using hiera to set a variable `systemd_default_target`, which is `multi-user` in my common.yaml, but I'd like it to be `graphical` for all the roles above. (There are other roles which run headless, so it makes sense for the default to be `multi-user`.)
if I set a parameter in Foreman (my ENC) on each host group, called `role`, to specify which role to apply, and include `roles::desktop_common` in both of the others, most things are working fine, but it looks as though I now have to have the following in my hiera data:
`common.yaml` contains `systemd_default_target: multi-user`
`roles/desktop_common.yaml` contains `systemd_default_target: graphical`
`roles/desktop_developer.yaml` contains `systemd_default_target: graphical`
`roles/desktop_office.yaml` contains `systemd_default_target: graphical`
Is there a way to reduce this duplication, either by using some feature of hiera or by designing my roles better?
