Support sync of CatalogProperties in APIC ConfigSync

We are running APIC 10.0.8.3 LTS on CP4I 16.1.0 on Openshift 4.16 on Azure Cloud. We have setup a DR site for APIC where we use ConfigSync v1.2.2 to sync between the production and DR APIC clusters.

Today we extensively use both protective and non-protective catalog properties that we manually have to configure in production and DR APIC Clusters. It would be great if you could support syncing of catalog properties as well as part of ConfigSync functionality or similar. If this RFE is rejected we would have to look at ways of storing them in Azure Key Vault as a not-so-preferred workaround. An existing restriction thats annoying is that we are unable to retrieve the already defined catalog properties (protected) using APIC toolkit.

The labs had the following comment on the matter, but we officially wish to request the feature via this RFE - "Catalog properties isn’t supported by design and considered part of the catalog set up that you need to do in advance. This is because some properties may need to be location specific and to allow for those types of scenarios. For example replicated back end systems as well and the local APIC fronts the local copy of the application. There’s been some discussion about native vault support so they could eventually just be referenced."
