Description

When creating an Access Port Selector that is a virtual port group, with interaface_type as a VPC, the policy_group appears to be putting the full tDn path in place of where just the name should be.

Please allow only the Name, after accbundle- to be placed into the policy_group field instead of a full tDn path.

Important Factoids

I am importing this from a CSV that looks like this:
intprofile,portsel,portseldescr,polgroup,inttype,portblkdescr,portblk,fromport,toport,state
ILPR_PD_FL_NW01_LP,IVSL_LAB_PD_Ansible_Test_1,IVPG_LAB_PD_Ansible_Test_1,IVPG_LAB_PD_Ansible_Test_1,vpc,Ansible_Test,block26,26,26,present

A regular access port selector works fine as it does not need the policy_group_name to function.

Hi @kentk94 , it seems that APIC v5.2.x shows the DN when the object (Policy Group in this case) does not exist yet.

Did you create the "IVPG_LAB_PD_Ansible_Test_1" policy group already?

I did, but after looking closer there appears to be an error on my side. I ended up flipping the names between the VPC and the Port Selector. My bad.
