RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. echo "---
interfaces:
- name: ovs0
  type: ovs-interface
  state: up
  ovs-db:
    external_ids:
      abc: def
- name: ovs-br0
  type: ovs-bridge
  state: up
  bridge:
    port:
    - name: ovs0" | nmstatectl set
2. nmstatectl show ovs0
3.

Actual results:
interfaces:
- name: ovs0
  type: ovs-interface
  state: up
  ipv4:
    enabled: false
    dhcp: false
  ipv6:
    enabled: false
    autoconf: false
    dhcp: false
  lldp:
    enabled: false

Brief of the log in attachment:
1. Always show NM.connection.uuid
2. Edit ovs0, when external-ids was not touched, the previous one would be preserved
3. Be able to add user-defined external-ids, but should provide all key-value pairs, if one key was not mentioned, it would be removed(except for NM.connection.uuid)
