Common tenant is trying to be updated without modification in the json file

[Cesar-EF]

Environment

• TMOS/Bigip Version: 3.46.0
• Terraform Version: 1.3.7, 1.5.7
• Terraform bigip provider Version: v.1.19.0

Summary

Common tenant tries to update after second run of terraform apply.

Steps To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

Example of resource config:

terraform {
  required_providers {
    bigip = {
      source = "F5Networks/bigip"
      version = "1.19.0"
    }
  }
  required_version = "= 1.5.7"
}

provider "bigip" {
  address  = "10.2.3.4"
  username = "user"
  password = "pass"
}
resource "bigip_as3" "exampletask" {
  as3_json       = "${file("test.json")}"
}

Run:
terraform apply
Result: It successfully created the resources:
Plan: 1 to add, 0 to change, 0 to destroy.

Expected Behavior

Terraform should not update the Common tenant since there was no changes made.

It should return:

No changes. Your infrastructure matches the configuration.

Terraform has compared your real infrastructure against your configuration and found no differences, so no changes are needed.

Apply complete! Resources: 0 added, 0 changed, 0 destroyed

Actual Behavior

Run again with no modification in the json file:
terraform apply
Result is trying to update the Common tenant:

bigip_as3.exampletask: Refreshing state... [id=Sample_non_http_05,Common]

Terraform used the selected providers to generate the following execution plan. Resource actions are indicated with the following symbols:
  ~ update in-place

Terraform will perform the following actions:

  # bigip_as3.exampletask will be updated in-place
  ~ resource "bigip_as3" "exampletask" {
      ~ as3_json         = jsonencode(
