fortios API for vip/load balancer not saving ldb_method 7.2.4

[aguerriero]

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.

Have more details? Screenshots or specific steps, etc., thanks.

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 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.

Hi  Thanks for your feedback.

We have submitted a bug internally to track and resolve it, can you describe your workaround in detail? so that we can investigate it better, Thanks!

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.
