External deployment - limitation?

Hello Appian group,

Today I have probably observed one limitation for external deployment:

1.)

In the case if I am importing by using external tool (used deployment REST API) package from older version to newest version of Appian (20.1 -> 21.3) - the external deployment failed -  ERROR An external deployment can only target a single application, but the external deployment [uuid=956fdfb0-920a-48bb-b9a1-ef445630b1e5] targets 0 applications.

2.) 

If I am repeat the same deployment - but instead external deployment I am use manual one. Deployment is successful

3.)

In the case if I am importing whole application (from older version 20.1 to newer 21.3) - everything works properly for external and manual deployment

4.)

In the case if I am importing package (the same package which failed from importing older version to newer version), but if this package is created on newer version 21.3. So, it is imported from 21.3 -> 21.3 - the external deployment is successful.

Do you aware of such behavior? Or any tips or hints why the external deployment behave little bit different?

Thanks in advance,

Pavol

Deployment APIs were introduced in 21.2: https://docs.appian.com/suite/help/21.2/Appian_Release_Notes.html#programmatic-deployments-via-api. Maybe since the package was created before that release, the import didn't work correctly? Regardless it's probably worth opening a support ticket to have our support team investigate and determine if this is expected behavior.
