Administration - Asset Management - Object templates: The default value of a property is not copied to objects of the same type when a new property is added
This article is about product releases
ALVAO Asset Management 11.2 and higher
Symptoms
When a new property is added on the object template with default value, this value is not copied to objects of the same type.
This error influences also the ALVAO SNMP scanner. When the scanner is used for the first time, it adds properties like "SNMP scan" with default value "Yes" on some templates. But the value is not copied to the existing objects of the same type, so SNMP scanner can't update them.
Cause
The cause is a bug in ALVAO products.
Solution
Fix planned for release ALVAO 26.2 Patch (2026-06-04)
Workaround
Add the property to the template, then set the value in bulk for objects manually.
