Description
https://github.com/vmware/pyvmomi/issues/960
Hi! I have the same problem with vCenter 7.0u3f. Do you have any solutions to this problem?
If you believe the documentation, then this field should not be validated or changed by vCenter in any way, but as I see it, this is not the case. I set the value, but as a result I get an empty string.
