cloud-init snippets hostname is no longer the vm name

[Daxcor]

I am using the proxmox api to clone a template. When I create a custom user snippet with all the same information from the cloud init file when created from the gui and adding to it, customization commands. proxmox no longer makes the host name the same as the vm name. Is there a way to bring back this feature when using snippets?

Can you use the prebuilt cloud init code along side with a snippet or does the snippet completely override the gui created cloud init?

Thanks
Brad

Custom user-data snippet completely overwrites built-in one.
Same for network portion.
