vRO Workflow to Edit vRA Machine Item Description

$

Anybody have an example of editing the Machine Item Description field programmatically through any means?

 

I have tried working with the Café Entity, but it only adds a Custom property called "description" instead of actually editing the description itself.

 

When you execute a Reconfigure (once called Edit) from the Web GUI, the REST call has a couple of keys for description... but it also has all the Networks, Storage, and "PropertyBag" keys.  And those keys are so long with properties and custom properties, it wouldn't be terribly viable to build out the keys based on the machine choice. (doable but nightmarish to support... e.g if a custom property is added later, the key value breaks)

 

I am going to try to play around with the REST calls today, but I don't think it will turn out very promising.
