[Bug]: "mtu_measurements" ignored when creating new test resources

[omaslara]

What versions are you using?

❯ terraform version
Terraform v1.6.6
on darwin_amd64
+ provider registry.terraform.io/thousandeyes/thousandeyes v2.0.6

What did you expect to happen?

When creating new ThousandEyes tests, if the mtu_measurements parameter value is set to false, the test resources must be created with mtu_measurements=false.

What actually happened?

When creating new tests with any of the resources listed below, if the mtu_measurements parameter value is set to false, its value is ignored, and the tests are created with mtu_measurements = true.

After the test resources are created, if you run terraform apply for a 2nd time, the mtu_measurements value changes from true to false as they should be according to the Terraform configuration.

This issue happens for the following resources:

• thousandeyes_agent_to_server
• thousandeyes_http_server
• thousandeyes_dns_server
• thousandeyes_page_load

Terraform code to reproduce the bug

Any additional comments or code?

No response

Steps to reproduce the bug

1. Apply the provided terraform configuration: terraform apply -auto-approve
2. Check the Test > Advanced Settings in the UI to confirm the "Perform MTU measurements" is checked, when it should be unchecked.

Workaround If you want the mtu_measurements false value to be considered, run terraform apply again.

Example: The following example uses the terraform configuration provided to reproduce the issue.
