when scripting and interrogating interfaces in a for loop, the interface list always comes up blank, as if the data is missing or the schema has changed and ContextNode[].Interfaces is something different. Is there a known fix for this? Here's the script!!
/*
.CHANGE_TEMPLATE_DESCRIPTION
This template configures physical interfaces based on interface description. It was verified on a Cisco 2950 Catalyst Switch running IOS software version 12.1(12c).
.CHANGE_TEMPLATE_TAGS
Cisco, interface, VLAN, description, properties
.PLATFORM_DESCRIPTION
Cisco IOS
.PARAMETER_LABEL @ContextNode
NCM Node
.PARAMETER_DESCRIPTION @ContextNode
The node the template will operate on. All templates require this by default. The target node is selected during the first part of the wizard so it will not be available for selection when defining values of variables.
.PARAMETER_LABEL @ItfDescriptionMatchValue
If Interface Description Matches
.PARAMETER_DESCRIPTION @ItfDescriptionMatchValue
Enter the criteria that will trigger the change. If the interface property matches the trigger, a change config for the selected interface will be generated.
