Updating Custom Properties in Business Group Object through OOTB methods

$

Having a little trouble updating a business group in a script using builtin methods. I am able to get both custom properties into the business group object, but when I send back the updated business group... the getInfrastructureBusinessGroupsService().update(#businessGroup) method only sets the FIRST custom property no matter which one is first.

 

I do know that Sid put out a Custom Property Toolkit (written by Dan Lindsey: http://dailyhypervisor.com/vrealize-automation-vcac-6-1-custom-property-toolkit-for-vco/) that would handle this activity easily, but I am trying these updates directly for learning purposes.

 

Can anybody take a look at the below and at least tell me if I am just doing it wrong... and that is why it isn't working?

//setup a couple custom properties
owner = new vCACCAFECustomProperty;
owner.setName("businessGroupOwner");
owner.setValue(businessGroupOwner);
owner.setIsEncrypted(false);
owner.setIsRuntime(false); //this is Prompt User
costCentre = new vCACCAFECustomProperty;
costCentre.setName("costCenter");
costCentre.setValue(costCenter);
costCentre.setIsEncrypted(false);
costCentre.setIsRuntime(false);  //this is Prompt User
var myArray = new Array();
myArray.push(costCentre);
myArray.push(owner);
/*Reversed
myArray.push(owner);
myArray.push(costCentre);
*/
System.log(myArray.length);  // this ends up being 2 as expected
businessGroup.setCustomProperties(myArray);
checkProps = businessGroup.getCustomProperties();
for each (prop in checkProps){
 System.log(prop.getName());
 } // BOTH PROPERTIES ARE IN THE LOCAL BUSINESS GROUP OBJECT AS EXPECTED
// Send updated Business Group back into Cafe through host service
// Behaves as an overwrite
myService = host.createInfrastructureClient().getInfrastructureBusinessGroupsService();
myService.update(businessGroup);  // Only sends in FIRST custom Property no matter which is first
