Creating external application developer user with apim-cli

APIM-CLI version

API-Management version

Bug description

I want to automate the creation of application developers with the apim-cli on my api manager.
I want the users use an external authenticator ( Active Directory ).
ApimCli version: API-Manager CLI: 1.14.13
ApiManager version: 7.7.20260228

When I try to create a user (application developer) as type external it is created as type internal.

How I can create the user with type external ? It's a bug ?

Steps to reproduce

I create my user1.json file
user1.json
{
"name":"User 1",
"loginName":"user1",
"email":"user@user.com",
"role":"admin",
"organization":"Myorg",
"type":"external",
"enabled":"true" ,
"state":"approved"
}

Import the user on Api manager
$ apim.sh user import -force -s mymanager -c user1.json

The problem is that when I get the user in the manager I see that the user is created as internal not as external.
I Read user from manager
$ apim.sh user get -s mymanager -o json -ultra
{
"name" : "User 1",
"loginName" : "user1",
"email" : "user@user.com",
"role" : "admin",
"organization" : "Myorg",
"type" : "internal",
"state" : "approved",
"createdOn" : 1775743704346,
"enabled" : true
}
