Deployment Description - external source doesn't work

[unhappyvra]

Hi!

I found a very weird behavior - If i have a "Deployment" description in my custom form ( propertie  "__description") set up as "External source" to action returning anything (well, string) - it never works. If i put something here manually during request form filling - it works. I tried "Bind to field" - no luck. Am i missing something here? In general, i want to populate "Deployment description" dynamically based on additional fields i have in my form.

It works perfect for VM description "vSphere_Machine_1~description" - wonder what is wrong here with deployment description..

vRA 7.6

May be something hot fix 1 addresses. Otherwise, no problem here in 7.5 with SovLabs Property Toolkit.

You would be surprised - method "PUT" was removed from REST API client in 7.5-7.6. However - it is still working if you use REST API endpoint calls to the vRA. It is a terrible workaround, btw. Stuff like this should work OOTB without reverse engineering or REST API hacks, shame on you, VMware...
