Issues exporting and importing an API

APIM-CLI version

1.14.2

API-Management version

7.7.20231130

Bug description

We are exporting an API, and then importing it back again. And we are getting strange behaviors:

1. it detects a change in the apiDefinition file
2. it creates a new API without the -force
3. it marks it as a non-breaking, and breaking with a difference of a couple of lines

Our desired behavior would be

1. as we are not changing anything, it should report the usual "no changes detected between desired and actual"
2. we want to avoid by all means APIs to be recreated (we rely on existing API ids for several purposes, and we want to keep the created date value)
3. we want to be reassured that not introducing force doesn't lead to applying breaking changes.

Log is showing:
"INFO : Is Breaking changes : false Enforce Breaking changes : false"

and then:
"DEBUG: Apply breaking changes: [apiDefinition] & and Non-Breaking: [], for UNPUBLISHED"

more lines:

Steps to reproduce

I am going to share with you on a private email the .dat export for you to export/import ; and the complete debug

commands executed:
$ apim api get -h localhost -u apiadmin -p changeme3 -id 3c13181e-4e84-4a74-95f3-48d67103d0aa -o json
$ apim api import -h localhost -u apiadmin -p changeme3 -c .\testoas3error\api-config.json -a '.\testoas3error\Test - OAS3.json'

Relevant log output

sensible information, so sent via private email
