+1 for this. With Onyx only producing PowerCLI code at the moment and a lot of things being a hell of a lot easier to script in PowerCLI than in vRO Javascript it makes sense to implement a PowerCLI script action using Powershell/PowerCLI core!
As someone who uses PCLI and vRealize Orchestrator on a daily basis, I have to say extending the vRO functionality with this little addition would spare us 1) a Windows server (If we want to utilize PS, it's the only way right now) 2) a lot of hassle working with JavaScript-based workflows :) Anyway I understand that PCLI on a Linux-based appliance is unusual... I hope we'll get the "multi-platform" PCLI soon:)
I believe there will be better orchestration options for PowerCLI once it runs on Linux. I will revisit the underlying request after we release the multi-platform version.
this has finally been implemented in VRO 8.1! unfortunately only with VRA license though
I had a similar suggestion here: https://powercli.ideas.aha.io/ideas/PCLI-I-153
Keep up-voting native support for vRA+vRO in PowerCLI. Hopefully VMware will see the demand. CloudClient is clunky.
Curious if this is still a firm "Will not implement" and if so, was this due to some technical blocker or a license issue or something else.

Also add the vRO that is embedded in the vRA appliance to this wish list
Now that the multi-platform PCLI is out, is this being revisited???

:( Sad to see these updates, but happy at the possibilities in the future!

I've talked to the vRO team about this feature request, and it does not sound like it will be implemented.
