Add and Edit Custom Attributes

After you create a custom attribute, the attribute key will be automatically associated with all resources of the selected type. You can then add attribute values to the each resource.

This section introduces how to configure custom attributes for virtual machines.

1. In the navigation pane, choose Inventory > VM and Host.

2. From the resource tree, select a target virtual machine.

3. On the target virtual machine's details page, click Actions > Tag and Attribute > Set Custom Attribute.

4. In the Set Custom Attribute dialog, configure attribute value as needed.

   • If you want to add an attribute value to an existing attribute key, select or enter the attribute value in the Attribute Value column.
   • If you want to create a new custom attribute, click Add and enter an attribute key and attribute value.
   • If you batch configure custom attributes for multiple virtual machines, batch configuration will overwrite the corresponding attribute values for all selected resources. If left blank, each resource's existing attribute values will be preserved.

5. Click OK.
