Clone VM - assign IP address, but get invalid IP - 169.254.x.x

This workflow I'm trying to put together consists of the clone of a VM, selection of the OS, memory sizing, datastore selection, and input for the IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway.  Once the VM gets created and starts, it returns with an invalid IP of 169.254.x.x. 

I'm using the built-in workflows for "clone a virtual machine, no customization" and the action "getCustomizationIPSettings" in this workflow.  The Orchestrator version we are running is 5.1.

I suspect that one of the areas this is failing is the VM's ability to connect to the appropriate VLAN for the IP address.  What attribute/input and what setting(s) need to be included in this workflow for this to successfully connect to the appropriate VLAN and have that IP retain what is entered?

I'm slowly figuring things out with Orchestrator but have hit a roadblock with this static IP issue.
