Custom Fields Manager APIs

Custom Fields Manager APIs

The CustomFieldsManager object is used to add and remove custom fields to managed entities.

The custom fields values set on managed entities are available through the customValue property and through the summary objects for VirtualMachine and HostSystem. They are not available directly through this managed object.

This functionality is only available through VirtualCenter.
