Due to security issue, users can no longer add extraconfig via vm settings.
Please use updatevm with extraconfig instead. It is not supported on UI for now, you can use cmk

Hello @shulemmosko

You can try to remove the extraconfig by calling the updateVirtualMachine API via CMK with all the details you have in the VM, expect the extraconfig. For the whole syntax of the command, you might want to take a look at the browser's network tab when you update anything in the VM.

I think user cannot delete extraconfig in that way any more.
the only way for now is, removing the record with name "extraconfig-1" from "user_vm_details" table.
