IaaS Custom Form Expressions

[mulliganesx]

I am working on moving away from XaaS forms and simplify the logic through Custom Forms on IaaS Requests.  

What exactly do I need to do to set logic that says.. 

"Select Cluster Dropdown" 

That will automatically predefine the Cluster Network, Storage, and Application Type.  

Currently, I built out the Custom form, and added a new text area.  In the text area, I set the 'Value Source' as a 'Conditional Value' however the expression only allows me to set the value itself based on whatever selection.  I guess I am getting confused on how to bind multiple logic and hardcode the VM to be deployed on a specific VLAN, or storage type within that cluster.  

Thanks for any help

What you really need in this case is not to embed all your logic in the custom form, but shift as much of it as possible to vRA. You can best accomplish this with the Property Toolkit and leave your custom form somewhat simpler. You can see exactly what I mean in this post.

I am with you 100% and I would love to do that but the likelihood of company to purchase that tool is nil.  Do you have a suggestion outside of a paid tool in my above question?  Thank you
