How to set up one VM to automatically connect USB devices to it on resume

When a certain VM is resumed, all USB devices previously connected to it should be reconnected. This used to happen but not any more. What is the proper way to enable this feature in the current version? Ideally for one VM only and no other?

The closest available is to associate the VM with certain devices by hardware ID according to the instructions below. And globally set "Connect the device to the host" in the Preferences.
