vRO 7 Presentation issues

[RonBrownUAL]

I recently upgraded to vRO 7 (an in-place upgrade from 6.0.2).  I have a customized "clone vm" workflow that had the user select the vmFolder, the Cluster, the Resource Pool, and the Storage Cluster from the tree - starting at a specified root object.  This allowed them to drill down and find what they were looking for in the inventory.  Now, when they click on the "Not Set" link, a search box appears.  You can hit enter and it will present the full list of object under the root object but it is a flat list.  And for selection of the Resource Pool, this gets a little complicated as every cluster has a Resources.  I tried adding Select Value As - Tree but the behavior was the same.  I try the same thing on a clean installation of vRO 7 and the same workflow functions as expected - it pulls up a tree for these inputs.

Any thoughts?

'Select value as tree' will be ignored if for some reason the vRO decides that a certain plug-in type, in this case Resource Pool, is not an inventory type.

Unfortunately, it is a bit hard to troubleshoot such issues remotely. I'd suggest to start with the following:

• Check vRO server and client logs for errors or suspicious messages (once during the startup, and then after you open resource pool chooser)
• If this issue happens only for types from vCenter plug-in and not with other plug-ins (eg HTTP-REST) that have inventories, then perhaps there was some issue with vCenter plug-in upgrade. You can try to remove the plug-in content package and binaries from your upgraded setup and reinstall it anew using the binaries from your clean setup.
• Check if your input field has some complex presentation properties that could cause errors during OGNL evaluation. You can check with a new workflow having only a single input of type resource pool and no presentation properties except 'select value as tree'.
