Hey there,

You can use the notes option to set the VM annotation. Hope this will help you.

Hi

i couldn’t find option for vmware-iso builder. The link which you shared is for vsphere-iso.

Thanks.

Sorry I got confused between both builders :man_facepalming:
You can use vmx_data to set the annotation. For example:

"vmx_data" : { 
     "annotation": "your note here"
}

Let me know if it works for you.
