            "RETURN_CODE": 200
        }
    ]
}

Note that the policy ID received after creating the policy is the different from the one used to deploy the policy

Expected Behavior

Freeform policy is configured on the NDFC and deployed on the switch

Actual Behavior

Freeform policy is configured on the NDFC but a wrong Policy ID is deployed. Policy in the playbook is not deployed

Steps to Reproduce

Execute the Ansible Playbook
