Error: "power_state": this field cannot be set

  on QS7yQkgYpJKtLeERd-server01.example.com.tf line 1, in resource "nutanix_virtual_machine" "tf-69373009-9823-8102-24d5-983ee575ec85":

Steps to Reproduce

1. Create a new Server that match my provided template (but without power_state)
2. Add power_state and run terraform plan -target nutanix_virtual_machine.tf-69373009-9823-8102-24d5-983ee575ec85

Important Factors

We mange several hundreds vms with terraform, so i redacted some information in the debug output.
