Description

I was trying to deploy an ova/ovf image with vAppConfig properties and was using the "propertyMapping" option to feed the properties before image deploy. I dont see any errors but properties are also not getting set. Pls. let me know if im missing something .. Using vCenter 6.7

    mapping = []
    for k,v in property_mapping.items():
       mapping.append(vim.KeyValue(key=k, value=v))

vim.OvfManager.CreateImportSpecParams(entityName=name, propertyMapping=mapping)

Contributor guide

Research direction
Inspect the property mapping dictionary to ensure keys match the OVF's property identifiers. Verify that the OVF template supports vApp properties. Confirm that CreateImportSpecParams is being applied correctly, and check if vApp's GuestInfo property polling is enabled.
