fortios API for vip/load balancer not saving ldb_method 7.2.4

Using ansible galaxy fortinet.fortios when creating a vip I am trying to set the ldb_method. The only option that ever gets set is static.

 

type: server-load-balancer

server-type: ip

ldb_method: round-robin

if I specify an option that is not available I get an appropriate error.

I ended up just using the ansible.builtin.uri and specified the headers and json directly in the job.

The ansible galaxy fortinet.fortios httpapi appears to be missing things.

Below is the play I run where round-robin is circled and then a screenshot of the resulting virtual server that shows it is created as static instead of round-robin.

ansible version 2.12.10
ansible galaxy fortinet.fortios collection 2.2.3.

fortigate fortios 7.2.4 on 1500D

I created another task using ansible.builtin.uri right after the first task using the "PUT" method instead of the POST method just to update the ldb_method.
