In the properties page of a blueprint, there is a settable value for "Estimated setup duration". Is there any method for a driver to obtain this value? I've looked and am unable to find an API call that will provide that value. If it is not available, why not? Could that be enabled in a future release?
Use case: At the beginning of our Sandbox driver, we communicate with the sandbox owner via email or text message that their sandbox is being provisioned. As part of that communication, we want to provide the estimated time as to when their sandbox will be fully provisioned. Without the driver having access to this "Estimated setup duration" value, providing this estimate is not possible.

No @daklinge, there is no such way today (please suggest a new idea for that).
Maybe you can send an email at the end of the setup instead/in addition to tell the user that the sandbox is now ready? if it's in addition to the sandbox started email, you can just mention there that another email will notify them when it's ready.

Maybe not super elegant, but you could have a global input with a fixed value (list with 1 vale) representing setup duration, and that value is accessible via API.

Hi, there is a non-elegant way to get this info via API. You can export the blueprint package and the setup duration information resides in the blueprint's XML, shown in minutes:
You should use our Quali API (REST) to export the package, see info here.

Hi @Yaniv.K, @Jim.B, @Alona.G. Thanks for your suggestions. Sadly, all a bit less elegant than we're prepared to implement.
Although this is still on the 'non-elegant' spectrum, we did find a way to get the desired value directly from the Quali DB.
So with a DB connection and one SQL command, we've got our value.
