should be the same as in 6, I guess the attribute to be added already exists on the template machine.

@venu: you can add that property to the Business group itself.
so every machine deployed by that BG will have this attribute placed. So you only need to to it once per BG
(i don’t _think_ its possible to use variables or external data in properties. )

In my case My vcenter Folder and Business group names are identical ?
