Adding a Storage Selection Drop-Down in vRA 7

Hi, all

I would like to create a dynamic menu using custom property so that customers can select storage when they request a catalog.

However, the deployment fails when the catalog is requested.

I'd appreciate it if you could look at the screenshot below and let me know what I'm wrong.

Many Thanks !

I believe you need to add the datastore name and not the URL in the custom property. Just took a look on a dump of a machine custom property set:

"VirtualMachine.Disk0.Storage": "DEMO_DATA01"

Set Storage Path to the value listed in Reservation and it worked properly.

Thank you for your answers !   : )
