Customization options like changing host name does not populate when VM is deployed from template in content library.

Products

• VMware vCenter Server

Issue/Introduction

Customization option does not show up when virtual machine is deployed from an OVF template in content library

Environment

VMware vCenter Server 6.0.x
VMware vCenter Server 6.7.x

Cause

This is working as designed as content library API doesn't provide API support to update the GOSC spec

Resolution

This is an expected behaviour when using content library. Use flex client when deploying from content library and Edit the customization template during "customize Guest OS" option in deploy wizard.
