CLI flags should take overload settings in the config files

[gtmanfred]

Description of Issue/Question

If you pass arguments like --no-color or --failhard, they do not overwrite settings in /etc/salt/master which could be hard coded to True or False.

Setup

set the following in /etc/salt/master

failhard: False
color: True

Then run salt --no-color --failhard \* state.apply an salt will ignore the cli arguments and instead use the master config options.

Versions Report

I have seen this behavior as far back as 2015.5

Any updates on this?

There is not, it is rather low on the priority list. We would greatly appreciate a pull request if someone else wants to submit one. Thanks, Daniel
