Broken function -- VBoxManage GUI/RestrictedCloseActions

I'm trying to make a VM only give the option to "Power Off" when being closed.

The user manual "9.19.8. Action when terminating the VM" says you can remove any/all options from the close dialog by using

Code: Select all

VBoxManage setextradata "VM name" GUI/RestrictedCloseActions OPTION[,OPTION...]
So for my particular VM I tried doing

Code: Select all

VBoxManage setextradata "VM name" GUI/RestrictedCloseActions SaveState,Shutdown,Restore
But everytime I close the VM it still gives the option to restore the last snapshot.

The "Restore" option should be removable according to documentation, but it isn't going away.

Anyone have a fix? or insight?
