Describe the bug I've defined a SearchIndexerSkillset type skillset with two skills and with an indexProjections propetry. It seems when I call the indexerClient.createSkillset() with this definition, then all the configurations are applied to the new skillset except the indexProjections.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Create a SearchIndexerSkillset type skillset with indexProjections like "indexProjections": { "selectors": [ { "targetIndexName": "vector-xxxxxxxxx", "parentKeyFieldName": "parent_id", "sourceContext": "/document/pages/*", "mappings": [ { "name": "chunk", "source": "/document/pages/*", "sourceContext": null, "inputs": [] }, { "name": "vector", "source": "/document/pages/*/vector", "sourceContext": null, "inputs": [] }, { "name": "title", "source": "/document/metadata_storage_name", "sourceContext": null, "inputs": [] } ] } ], "parameters": { "projectionMode": "skipIndexingParentDocuments" } },
2. Call createSkillset() with this configuration.
3. The call is executed without any error or warning.
4. The indexProjections is missing from the skillset config in the Azure portal.

Expected behavior The indexProjections is visible in the skillset config in the Azure portal.
