community.vmware.vmware_category "All Objects" category type does select any associated object types

[ImranJMughal]

when using 'All objects' for tag category creation, no associated categories show as tagged in the gui. This is in vsphere 7

    associable_object_types:
      - All objects

@ImranJMughal Seems like vCenter HTML 5 bug to me.

changed: [localhost] => {
    "category_results": {
        "category_id": "urn:vmomi:InventoryServiceCategory:7a836ce2-ce16-4611-99e3-d4c458cc11a4:GLOBAL",
        "msg": "Category 'all' created."
    },
    "changed": true,
    "invocation": {
        "module_args": {
            "associable_object_types": [
                "All objects"
            ],
            "category_cardinality": "multiple",
            "category_description": "all",
            "category_name": "all",
            "hostname": "10.65.201.153",

    }
}

So i think in 7 were there is only html5 gui now, this doesn't show as all objects checked but when using it on applicable objects it does work. I think this will cause confusion and issues therefore i have instead selected all "associable_object_types". This has also thrown up some issues.

As some categories are grouped i think the relevant option in ansible should group also. For instance:-

Network should add the following to obj_types

                obj_types_set.append('Network')
                obj_types_set.append('OpaqueNetwork')
                obj_types_set.append('HostNetwork')

distributed switch

                obj_types_set.append('DistributedVirtualSwitch')
                obj_types_set.append('VmwareDistributedVirtualSwitch')
