For renewing a IPsec S2S connection I tried to clone the connection (just in case if something goes wrong).
But cloning of the IPsec connection in Opnsense 25.7.4 fails with the following error message. The new connection is partially created (Local/Remote authentication and children are missing).
PHP-Error:

Does anybody know what exactly went wrong?
