Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. I'm developing an app to manage VMs (i.e. stop, start, reboot) in a hybrid environment based on custom attributes (to match similar behavior on AWS and Azure hosts using tags). Setting VM tags on a
VirtualMachine
object is as easy as:....whereas getting the current values requires a complicated lookup from the
ManagedObjectReference
via aCustomFieldManager
like:Describe the solution you'd like It would be amazingly convenient for the
VirtualMachine
object (and other similar resource objects), itself, to have a function that returns a list of key-value custom attributes/fields, like so:In this way custom attributes would actually behave like attributes of the resource they're supposed to be attached to, rather than a lookup for a totally separate resource.
Describe alternatives you've considered A clear and concise description of any alternative solutions or features you've considered.
Additional context My use-case only needs this for VMs, but I imagine all resources (or perhaps generically just
Common
) would greatly benefit.
