Description
Hello,
I have noticed some extra fields in events of inventory, task and events. These fields are coming in each events.
Here are the fields:
dynamicProperty, dynamicType
Also in some events we have noticed "missingSet" field.
What is significance of these fields? Currently i have never seen any value in these fields. When we can get values in these fields?
Example Event:
{ [-]
changeSet: { [+]
}
collectionVersion: 2
dynamicProperty: [ [-]
]
dynamicType: None
missingSet: [ [-]
]
moid: domain-c26
rootFolder: { [+]
}
type: ClusterComputeResource
}

Research direction
The issue names inventory, task, and event objects in the pyvmomi vSphere API, but no file, test, or entry point is provided. Start by locating the definitions and documentation for dynamicProperty, dynamicType, and missingSet, then verify when these fields can contain values. Done means documenting their significance and conditions of use.
