The following is with regards to using the vSphere SDK or VIJAVA SDK and programmatically performing the operation via a Java program.
I know how to set/get/delete custom fields in a VM once the VM exists. Is there a way to set or change the value of a custom field during a VM cloning operation? In other words, if I create a new VM from a VM or template, can I change/set custom fields using the clone specs or other data structure, or do I have to wait until the new VM is created and then change/set its custom fields?
