Exclude from latest flag is ignored

[tsvietOK]

Overview of the Issue

I am trying to build Azure image with a set flag shared_gallery_image_version_exclude_from_latest to "true". At the end of the build packer shows -> SIG image version exclude from latest : 'true', but the published image actually marked as latest:

Reproduction Steps

1. Create json template
2. To the builder add "shared_gallery_image_version_exclude_from_latest": "true"
3. Run packer build
4. At the end of the build make sure it contains line -> SIG image version exclude from latest : 'true'
5. Check for image "Exclude from latest" parameter in Azure

Plugin and Packer version

Packer v1.11.0
Plugin v2.1.7

@tsvietOK I am having trouble reproducing this error, are you still experiencing this? The page you posted a screenshot of can be edited without making it clear that it's been modified, if you check on the Overview page on ACG, it shows the static element, can you confirm if you're still seeing this on images build? I wonder if there was a upstream Azure API issue that got resolved between when you opened the issue and today

Currently we use a workaround. We use az-cli to exclude published image version from the latest. I will try to check this issue again later this week.
