How to pass a property value of type secureString to request a resource action?

[EdSp]

Hi guys,

I am requesting a resource action by calling a workflow in vRO.

We call vRA library workflow: Library > vRealize Automation > Requests > Request a resource action

Input: operation (vCACCAFE:ConsumerResourceOperation), inputs (Poperties)

Our resource action takes several input fields, one of which is of type secureString (a password). We read all inputs from a JSON string and put them in a properties object to pass that in as input. After we call the above request worfklow, I can see in the logging that it breaks with a failure on casting from string to securestring.

Any help much appreciated.

Here is the logging:
