When executing a playbook with a task that uses the cisco.nxos.nxos_prefix_lists resource module, the module is not sending the initial nxos cli "no" commands that should happen with action "replaced". With same playbook and host vars for ios using ios.ios_prefix_lists resource module,, the no commands are present. This causes the nxos module to return an error from the device when it complains that the sequence already exists. Strangely, the sequence number does not already exist. In any case, the no commands should be sent with action replaced, so it would not matter if the sequence exists or not since it should be deleted first anyway.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
Modify a pre-existing ipv4 or ipv6 prefix-list using the latest nxos_prefix_lists module with action "replaced"
verbose level 3 playbook logs attached
EXPECTED RESULTS
Relevant "no" cli commands should be present to remove existing prefix-list prior to cli commands that re-create it in updated form, standard ansible rm "replaced" action behavior.
ACTUAL RESULTS
the module is not sending the initial nxos cli "no" commands that should happen with action "replaced"
@digitalfiend64 There seems to be no logs or playbook attached to this ticket. We won't be able to debug this without those. Could you please share them so that we can take this forward? Thanks!
