The customer is building automation around their patching/etc. workflows. They need to be able to suspend a VM's parking schedule to run whatever processes they need to run.
For regular parkable VMs, there's no issue finding the VM; however, for workload sets, there doesn't appear to be a simple way to locate a specific VM in the list of Sets.
Right now, they're (the customer) finding the VM by name and grabbing the UUID. Then, they're getting the list of Workload sets and iterating across the [memberUuids] (or whatever) array to see if the VM is in the Set. They can then suspend the schedule for the Set and park/unpark the VM.
This is especially difficult in the UI. If you don't know the name of the Workload set (Parkers may not...) you can't search/filter based on the VM name (not that I could find). To view the VMs in a Workload set, you have to click the three-dot menu, select View, and then see the list of resources.
Not a huge deal if you have two or three sets. It could be a major pain if you have two or three hundred sets.
