Hi  Orf Gelbrich,

Thanks and this is quite helpful. We have a situation where we want to use UCSD Tags as Project Code Identifier in a multiproject environment. I use UCSD 6.6 where i have imported this 'Add_VM_TAGS' workflow and added this in an existing workflow(VM provisoning) to prompt the users to choose from the list of TAGs(Project IDs) during the catalog execution.

However this 'Add_VM_TAGS' workflow does not have options to prompt users input while included in the VM creation workflow. 

Could you please guide me in achieving this.

Regards,

Anup

Did you add this workflow as a post provisioning workflow to your VM provisioning standard catalog?
