Hi @koushik-das @ustcweizhou,
For this new methods as they require the entity id (VM or template) I added
a basic validation to check if the entity is found on DB, but I realize that I
should also validate that entity is not destroyed. This data is to be stored in
*details tables.
About existing API methods, I have checked `updateTemplate` and
`updateVirtualMachines` methods before adding this new methods, and they
provide a way to add/update details (although updateTemplate overrides existing
details). Also, details can be listed on `listTemplates` and
`listVirtualMachines` but thought the best approach was introducing this new
methods to reduce overhead and treat entity details separately instead of
updating/listing the entity every time. What do you think of this approach?
