vim.ExtensibleManagedObject
|
|
===========================
|
|
`ExtensibleManagedObject`_ provides methods and properties that provide access to custom fields that may be associated with a managed object. Use the `CustomFieldsManager`_ to define custom fields. The `CustomFieldsManager`_ handles the entire list of custom fields on a server. You can can specify the object type to which a particular custom field applies by setting its `managedObjectType`_ . (If you do not set a managed object type for a custom field definition, the field applies to all managed objects.)
