Feature request: show VMware tag name and value in EM

Post by christian.naenny »

While defining access to VMs based on VMware tags in Veeam Enterprise Manager, the "Manage Scope Objects" only shows the value of the tags in the column Name. It would be nice to label the columns properly and show the Name AND the Value of the tags:

Hi Christian,

The screenshot is not available anymore. Are you referring to the following wizard?
vSphere Tags do not have a "value," only a "name". Am I missing something?

The name of the tag is not True or UNOS, that's the value!

Hi Christian,

I believe I know what's happening. You have a Tag Category named "Backup", and within this category, you have tags with the Name "True" or "UNOS".

Tags themselves don't have a Value; rather, you are using Tag Categories, and your request is to display the Category as well in Enterprise Manager.
