  • Fixed datastore details not updating when toggling one VMware Cloud to another on the Catalog order page

  • When building Instance-type Catalog Items from an Instance Type containing more than one Layout, the version number from the selected Layout now appears in the Instance JSON map rather than the version of the first Layout :superscript:` 7.2.0`

Code

Contacts

  • Web Hook-type Contacts can now accept a URL value greater than 255 characters
