Hello,
I am working on creating a decommission workflow through a XaaS blueprint, which will automate the decommission process for our environment.
Here is the problem I am facing:
I have two text fields: "Virtual Machine" and "Details". Virtual Machine is a VM name that the user will provide. Details is a text field that I would like to populate with IP address and DNS info (I have an action that will do this, provided a VM name input).
The Virtual Machine fields works, but I cannot get the Details text field to update after the user enters a name. I have the default value set as 'Field > External (My Action) > Input (for My Action) = 'Field > Virtual Machine' which should mean that when the 'Virtual Machine' field is update, the value gets passed to the External action, which will return my extra details. Please see the image to visualize this.
When I open the catalog, the Details field does not even show up. It does not update when I enter a VM name. If I pass a constant (instead of trying to pass the Virtual Machine value), the action works fine and the Details text field gets populated as expected. If I access the blueprint from the blueprint catalog (not the service catalog), and the Details field updates exactly as it should (see the second image).
Does anyone have any idea how I can resolve this?
Thanks,
Tanner
