Unable to set API Management Min API version

Question

Hi,

I am trying to set the apiVersionConstraint minApiVersion property for my APIM instance to satisfy the security concern; "API Management minimum API version should be set to 2019-12-01 or higher".

I am provisioning my APIM instance with the following bicep:

resource apiManagementService 'Microsoft.ApiManagement/service@2023-05-01-preview' = {
  name: apimServiceName
  location: location
  identity: {
    type: 'SystemAssigned'
  }
  sku: {
    name: 'BasicV2'
    capacity: 1
  }
  properties: {
    publisherEmail: 'xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx@xxxxxxx.com'
    publisherName: 'xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx'
    apiVersionConstraint: {
      minApiVersion: '2021-08-01'
    }
    developerPortalStatus: 'Disabled'    
  }
  tags: tags
}

However, this property appears to come through as null when I check the APIM instance on the portal:

I have also tried to set the value manually with the REST API with no luck.

Am I missing something when trying to set this value?

Thanks

@Marc Milliken Thanks for reaching out. I see that you're trying to update the MinApiversion for your basicv2 sku and it remains null, the minApiVersion property is not required for the BasicV2 SKU of API Management (users no need to set minApiVersion themselves as v2 sku's uses centralized management api and it is controlled from service end).

Note: The minApiVersion property will be deprecated in the near future as older API versions are retired.

do let me know incase of further queries, I would be happy to assist you.
