Comment 8 for bug 1855877

duplicate: https://bugs.launchpad.net/designate/+bug/1881277

I find out this is exactly a bug in designate. not related to kolla-ansible.

the default_pool_id config under section [service:central] does not work properly when running command "designate-manage database xxx" or "designate-manage pool xxxx".

This is because the code below:
https://opendev.org/openstack/designate/src/branch/master/designate/cmd/manage.py#L59
https://opendev.org/openstack/designate/src/branch/master/designate/manage/pool.py#L65

the code in manage.py says, even if we execute "designate-manage database", we also load the default cli params for command "designate-manage pool"

then the code in pool.py, it is recursively defined default_pool_id from cli by the default opts values in conf. that means "register_default_opts" <-- overwrite by real conffile <-- overwrite again by cli default opts.

I think we need someone help from designate project to suggest how to fix it in designate.
