Terraform error vsphere provider

[sebsot]

Hi, im currently trying to deploy VM's from terraform using the vsphere provider (terraform version v1.10.4 and vsphere provider v2.10.0) and i get an error when i try to deploy them from a template.

The main issue is when i use the customize option , where is the moment i get the error.

I get the following error:

Someone told me that the text marked in bold might be important.

i also give you the customize part

clone {

template_uuid = data.vsphere_virtual_machine.template.id

customize {

linux_options {

host_name = "server"

domain = "domain"

}

network_interface {

ipv4_address = "1.1.1.2"

ipv4_netmask = 24

}

ipv4_gateway = "1.1.1.254"

dns_server_list = ["10.1.2.3", "10.1.2.9"]

}

}

}

The ip's are examples

I tried using .OVA templates like the terraforms docs told me to, but i was unsuccesful. I would love to get some help please

cheers !
