Unable to update template - possibly perm issue

I’m trying to update a template for which I’m the owner of, but it’s not updating. It doesn’t throw an error, and even the oned.log shows that it was successful, but the template remains unchanged.

Here’s the log output …

I had originally imported the template from one of my VMware vCenters using the ‘oneadmin’ account. After that, I changed the owner to myself and the group to a group I am a member of. I set the permissions on the template to be Use/Manage/Admin for both Owner and Group.

Any ideas? Thanks.

BTW, 5.0 is really nice - good job you guys!

What exactly are you adding to the template? Are you doing the template update through Sunstone?

Hi Jaime. Anything I try to update in the template with my regular user does not take. For example, I have a USER_INPUT section that I created with the ‘oneadmin’ user that has only one item in it - a list of datastores the user can select. If I change I try changing the description text, it does not change. Yes, it is through Sunstone gui.

In that case it is ignoring the changes because USER_INPUTS is a restricted attribute by default.

That would explain it then. Thanks Carlos, I didn’t realize about these restrictions.
