  accept_self_signed_cert  = true
}

Expected Behavior

Create a new cloud account and allow provisioning to all existing vSphere datacenters (regions). The region name should be the datacenter name (in my example, it should be "Caverna Cloud 02").

Actual Behavior

The new cloud account was created with no errors, but the vSphere regions were configured by ID (externalRegionId). When I edit the new cloud account and save that without any change, the region name changed from externalRegionId to Name (vSphere datacenter name).

Steps to Reproduce

Just run a terraform apply using the code above and check the column Account / Region in Compute (Assembler > Infrastructure > Resources > Compute).

Hi @ricardoconzatti, is this a duplicate of #472?

Hi @ricardoconzatti, is this a duplicate of #472?

Heey @BerryR-RBA. I think it is similar. By the way, I tried right now in vra provider version 0.8.6 and I had the same issue.

[BerryR-RBA]

Yup, I'm having the same issue with v0.8.6.
