Hi!

Good Day!

We have awx 13.0. We have template to create vm and it is working fine without any issue. There is a requirement to add multiple template name to build different version of Operating System.

I used Add Survy in Workflow template to add the template name which are available in vmware then we select appropriate template to install the OS however, once I use Survey to select template, some how the VmomiSupport.py does not like it and throws below error. If I add them template name in extra variable under workflow template it works perfectly. Kindly advice.

The full traceback is:
