string

structure_id

Optional

Identifier of the structure element. This field is optional and it is only relevant when the value of ElementValue.type is STRUCTURE_REFERENCE. When clients pass a value of this structure as a parameter, the field must be an identifier for the resource type: com.vmware.vapi.structure. When operations return a value of this structure as a result, the field will be an identifier for the resource type: com.vmware.vapi.structure.

array of string

structure_ids

List of identifiers of the structure elements. This field is optional and it is only relevant when the value of ElementValue.type is STRUCTURE_REFERENCE_LIST. When clients pass a value of this structure as a parameter, the field must contain identifiers for the resource type: com.vmware.vapi.structure. When operations return a value of this structure as a result, the field will contain identifiers for the resource type: com.vmware.vapi.structure.
