A property binding that uses a direct Deployment Schema property binding, will not maintain the value if the action is canceled

Products

• VCF Operations/Automation (formerly VMware Aria Suite)

Issue/Introduction

Example: A custom resource action that uses the Deployment Schema > deploymentId property value for a property binding, will switch to the compute resource ID of the deployment if the action is re-initiated after initiating an action against one of the resources in the deployment.

Environment

Aria Automation 8.18.x

Cause

There is a bug in the code that is not maintaining the binding value in cache

Resolution

Workaround:

1) Change the binding type for the deploymentId to "in request" and Save

2) Edit the request parameters to view the form

3) For the deploymentId field, go to the Values tab

4) Set the 'Value source' to 'Bind field' and the 'Value field' to the 'Request info fields' item 'Deployment'

5) Save the changes
