vRA 8 onboarding VMs and using managed IPs

I have a bunch of VMs I need to onboard. The VMs have multiple NICs with an IP (sometimes more) on each interface. All the networks the customer uses I have assigned in a network profile and have managed IP ranges defined in vRA (no IPAM).

I've done some test onboarding and found that vRA will match the FIRST IP seen on the VM to a managed IP. This works nicely if there is a single IP on the system - I can move on knowing there will be no IP overlap. But if there are more IPs, now I have IPs setup on the VM that vRA has not tagged as allocated. Very problematic.

Does anyone know a way to deal with managed IPs in vRA 8? This was easily solvable in vRA 7.x via CSV files. Maybe the only method is to hack them in the postgresql DB?

I have not, but, VMware did add a feature. Starting in 8.7, they allow one IP PER NIC when onboarding vs just the first IP.
