Azure - Unable to change network security group using Ansible - azure

Question

When I'm trying to update the Network security group of a interface, I get the following error.
"msg": "value of public_ip_allocation_method must be one of: Dynamic, Static, got: None found in ip_configurations".
I checked the Azure VM Network Config and there is a public IP set. I also tested by creating a new IP and set the assignment to be Dynamic but still I got the same error as above.
Ansible Code:
- name: Applying NSG to target NIC
azure_rm_networkinterface:
name: "{{ azure_vm_network_interface }}"
resource_group: "{{ resource_group }}"
subnet_name: "{{ azure_network_interface_info.networkinterfaces[0].subnet }}"
virtual_network: "{{ azure_network_interface_info.networkinterfaces[0].virtual_network.name }}"
ip_configurations: "{{ azure_network_interface_info.networkinterfaces[0].ip_configurations }}"
security_group: "/subscriptions/123456/resourceGroups/test-resource-group/providers/Microsoft.Network/networkSecurityGroups/testing_temp_8"

Answer 1

I modified the registered json using json_modify.py and manually specified Dynamic for the key.
- json_modify:
data: "{{ azure_network_interface_info }}"
pointer: "/networkinterfaces/0/ip_configurations/0"
action: update
update: { "public_ip_allocation_method": "Dynamic", "public_ip_address": "{{ azure_ip.publicipaddresses[0].ip_address }}", "public_ip_address_name": "{{ public_ip_address }}" }
register: azure_network_interface_info_modified
