5512	VirtualBox-specific settings should be supported in OVF export too, using the ProductSection element	Daniel Kulesz		"It's possible to definesome ""ExtraDataItem"" fields in virtualbox, such as the following:
{{{
<ExtraDataItem name=""VBoxInternal/Devices/pcnet/0/LUN#0/Config/guestssh/Protocol"" value=""TCP""/>
<ExtraDataItem name=""VBoxInternal/Devices/pcnet/0/LUN#0/Config/guestssh/GuestPort"" value=""22""/>
<ExtraDataItem name=""VBoxInternal/Devices/pcnet/0/LUN#0/Config/guestssh/HostPort"" value=""2222""/>
}}}
Unfortunately, these extra data items don't get exported into the OVF format. Therefore importing a previously exported VirtualBox VM in OVF format gets very annoying over time.

The OVF specification Version 1.0 supports such attributes with the <ProductSection> element, as outlined in section 9.5 of the specification. It would be really cool, if VirtualBox would take advantage of this feature."	enhancement	closed	OVF	VirtualBox 3.0.12	fixed			other	other
