Cannot change BGP peer-group local-role

Bugs

I am trying to change the local-role in a peer-group but I get the following errors:

vmakris@igoum-gw-01:~$ show configuration commands | grep peer-group
set protocols bgp neighbor 10.88.88.255 peer-group 'FAST'
set protocols bgp peer-group FAST capability dynamic
set protocols bgp peer-group FAST graceful-restart 'enable'
set protocols bgp peer-group FAST local-role rs-client
set protocols bgp peer-group FAST password 'F@st123!'
set protocols bgp peer-group FAST remote-as '211186'
set protocols bgp peer-group FAST update-source '10.88.88.2'
vmakris@igoum-gw-01:~$ configure

Only one local role can be specified for peer "FAST"!

Did you try delete old role and create a new?
Can you open a bug report?

Hello,
Yes, nothing seems to be working. I had to remove the whole BGP config and reconfigure it in order to manage to change it…
