YAML config with multiple VDOMs

[viktor245]

Hi everyone,

I was struggling to get FortiOS config in YAML format into Python.

Thanks to this post I found out it's a bug - 976722.

System configuration export in YAML seems invalid - Fortinet Community

Fortinet fixed the bug in 7.4.8. I updated a device to 7.4.8 and downloaded the config in YAML format.

I can now load the config into Python, but I'm facing a new challenge. The object that is created from the file is a Python dictionary with two keys: 'global' and 'vdom'. This is expected. When I select key 'vdom' and load it into its own object, its data type is list. This is where the problem is. The list contains only one of two VDOMs I have in my config. The YAML file contains both VDOMs.

Did anyone encounter the same issue? Any idea how to proceed?
