Cannot copy environment using Microsoft.PowerApps.CLI (v1.16.6)

Hi!

In version 1.16.6 of Microsoft.PowerApps.CLI, I can no longer copy a Dataverse environment (Dynamics 365 CE/CRM).

I get the following error message:

Error: There is an error parsing the data. Property 'linkedEnvironmentMetadata' is missing.

But, switching back to version 1.15.3, the exact same commands still works.

I use a service principal and connect using the argument "-k ADMIN", which I know is deprecated (but still required at this point, from what I can tell).

Does anyone of you know what may be the cause of this, and whether there is a work-around (besides explicitly using an older version), perhaps if there is a way to specify a value for the linkedEnvironmentMetadata property in some way? Or whether it is possible to copy an environment without using the -k switch (if that has something to do with this error)?

I would prefer to always install the latest version in our nightly build pipelines (which is where I mainly use this package), and not having to keep track of versions in those scripts, if avoidable.

Best regards,

Henrik Svensson
