Bug Report: Deploy IIS Site generates invalid otter script if you choose Create/Update Application (VM 2026.1)

[brandon_owensby_2976]

I am trying to set up a simple IIS deploy where it deploys to an application and ensures that application exists. I filled out the wizard and then I tested it and it failed. When I researched why it failed I discovered it was not filling in the arguments correctly of the IIS:Ensure-Application command. If I click the Edit as script button I get the following script for that command:

IIS::Ensure-Application
(
    Name: /CStore.API,
    Site: WebApps,
    AppPool: DefaultAppPool,
    PhysicalPath: C:\IIS\CStore.API
);

The visual editor looks like this:

You'll notice there is no record of the Name (/CStore.API). If I fill in Application path on that form, save it, and flip back to the text editor you get this:

IIS::Ensure-Application /CStore.API
(
    Name: /CStore.API,
    Site: WebApps,
    AppPool: DefaultAppPool,
    PhysicalPath: C:\IIS\CStore.API
);

Name is still there but now you can see that same value is added else where. I'm hoping this is something you are willing to fix so I can use the Wizard as it claims to be instead of having to use a custom script. Let me know if there is anything else I can do to help.

For the record after finishing this post I went ahead and saved my manual change to the script that I did via the UI for the above info and it worked when I tested it again. I realize I have a work around but the wizard is an important feature for maintenance. I'm ok if the fix isn't quick as long as it can be added to the to do list.

Thank you,
Brandon
