vRA 7.6 Property Definition limit?

Hi, hopefully this will be a an easy one. Is there a limit to the number of property definitions you can add to vRA7.6?

I have several that start from VirtualMachine.Software001.Name up to VirtualMachine.Software999.Name. They are not all used in the middle this is just the way they were named.

I have recently added VirtualMachine.Software1000.Name and am having unexpected results with some not running now.

Could it be there is a limit maybe and the guest agent doesn't like 1000?

Thanks in advance

Steve

I don't recall a max number of properties documented anywhere, but this is something you could check yourself pretty easily. Just write a loop that adds a bunch of properties to the vm and see on what number it fails

Thanks, I removed the property label ~1000~, changed it to ~900~ and moved everything back one and it worked. Based on that I'm assuming it doesn't like properties above 999. Easy enough fix.
