Using a very slightly modified version of the example code for the provider I get the following error when I try to apply. bigip_ltm_policy.test-policy: 0107186c:3: Policy '/Common/Drafts/my_policy', rule 'rule6'; missing or invalid target.

Here's the terraform Policy I'm trying with.

name = "my_policy"
strategy = "first-match"
 requires = ["http"]
published_copy = "Drafts/my_policy"
 controls = ["forwarding"]
 rule  {
 name = "rule6"

  action = {
    tm_name = "20"
    redirect = true
     location = "https://www.auctionsniper.com/help/support/"
  }
 }
# depends_on = ["bigip_ltm_pool.mypool"]
}```

I can confirm this behavior. Policies also do not show up in the state when importing a Virtual Server resource. The virtual's policies always show #0 and each time applying, terraform thinks it needs to add the policies that are defined in the tf config. The policies if defined actually get created when adding a virtual server, but state still shows none.

When trying to create a policy resource, it will always add the policy to drafts in the F5, but will not publish the policy.
