resource "iosxe_vlan" struggels with long vlan names

[Aswertus]

I stumbled into the issue that at least the current version of the provider has issues creating or renaming vlans to long names.

Yes I'm aware that long vlan-names arent the smartest thing to do, but still I want to mention it.

 # iosxe_vlan.vlan["4021"] will be updated in-place
  ~ resource "iosxe_vlan" "vlan" {
        id       = "Cisco-IOS-XE-native:native/vlan/Cisco-IOS-XE-vlan:vlan-list=4021"
      ~ name     = "Link-Net4021" -> "Link-Net_htl-spielw-abt"
        # (2 unchanged attributes hidden)
    }

Plan: 0 to add, 2 to change, 0 to destroy.

If I try it with a shorter name it works

# iosxe_vlan.vlan["4021"] will be created
  + resource "iosxe_vlan" "vlan" {
      + id       = (known after apply)
      + name     = "Link-Net4021"
      + shutdown = false
      + vlan_id  = 4021
    }

Does it work when you configure it on the CLI or do you get some kind of warning?

[Aswertus]

Sorry for the delay of my respone!

On the CLI everything works fine. Interestingly the error went disappeared and havent happened again. I'm sure nobody else changed anything in the meantime.

Very interesting nonetheless ^^
