This may be a bug, though I wouldn't rule out human error...
So i figured out how to create basic dynamic types in vRA 7.0.1. I have the "DynamicTypesManager.makeObject" step in the find by ID WF. Which is invoked by my workflow that the XaaS blueprint calls via the "DynamicTypesManager.getObject" step. So far it appears to be working fine. When I request the item from catalog, it shows up in the items list. However i've noticed two issues.
1st Issue - the properties of the DT come from a rest api that the FindById wf calls. It shows them correctly on the item details page (even when they change in the external system that has the rest API). BUT, they don't seem to change on the items listing because I set up resource actions based on some of the fields (like target criteria of FIELDNAME=SOMETHING). For example one of the fields is a status field. When the DT object is first instantiated status is set to "Building", but later it us updated in the 3rd party system to "Complete" I see complete on the details page, BUT if i set the target criteria to only show the action when status=Complete, it does NOT show. It only shows if i flip it to status=Building. Which makes me think wherever the DT objects are stored in vCO they don't get updated when the items page is refreshed? How can you invoke that? Sorry that's a bit confusing to explain..
2nd Issue - May be related to the above... I noticed in the inventory view of vCO for dynamtic types. I see the namespace i created with the two brackets { } but nothing is populated underneath it. Does that mean something is wrong with how I am setting up my objects?
Thanks for ANY help you can give!
