I'm running Packer 1.3.0 and  I'm building a FreeBSD VM on ESX 6.0.

My vmx_data is working but I can't find a field to edit the VM notes.  I was expecting something like "notes" or "vmnotes" but those don't work.  I looked at the list of vmx_data fields on Sanbarrow but it isn't listed there or anywhere else I can find.

Does anyone know if it's possible?

Thanks!

Hey David,

I use the following to add notes to my templates in VMware products

"vmx_data": {
"annotation": "Notes here",
...
}
