Attributes:

Name Type Description
Required
-.id string Id of the question raised. This attribute was added in vSphere API 6.7.
-.question localizable_message Message describing the question. This attribute was added in vSphere API 6.7.
-.question.id string Unique identifier of the localizable string or message template.

This identifier is typically used to retrieve a locale-specific string or message template from a message catalog.
-.question.default_message string The value of this localizable string or message template in the en_US (English) locale. If vapi.std.localizable_message.id refers to a message template, the default message will contain the substituted arguments. This value can be used by clients that do not need to display strings and messages in the native language of the user. It could also be used as a fallback if a client is unable to access the appropriate message catalog.
-.question.args string[] Positional arguments to be substituted into the message template. This list will be empty if the message uses named arguments or has no arguments.
-.type string Type of the question raised. This attribute was added in vSphere API 6.7.

YES_NO: Question with answer values Yes/No. This constant was added in vSphere API 6.7.

-.possible_answers string[] Possible answers values. This attribute was added in vSphere API 6.7.
