Issue/Introduction

Symptoms:
Once Edge/DLR is deployed it is not possible to change the description field via API, UI.

Cause

Editing of the "Description" field is not allowed by design and hence API is also not allowing edit operation.

Resolution

Option to change the Description via API/ UI will be available in future release.

Workaround:

Changing the Description from NSX Manager DB can be used as a workaround as below

Login to NSX manager in engineering mode and login to sql prompt and apply below:

#update domain_object set description = 'DESCRIPTION_CONTENT' where objectid = 'edge-id';

DESCRIPTION_CONTENT : Field description has a limit of 1024 chars.
