@Sharmanand the ID in azuredevops_group is a randomly generated UUId, it has no meaning, it's just an ID. The descriptor can be changed to UUID but need another API call.

@xuzhang3 it do help in lots of use case e.g. azuredevops_branch_policy_auto_reviewers for assigning auto_reviewer_ids

moreover if you check Data Source: azuredevops_groups it have correct export id field. however you check Data Source: azuredevops_group it has duplicate value in both id & descriptor descriptor.

we need to have consistency in Data Source: azuredevops_groups & Data Source: azuredevops_group for id field

[xuzhang3]

Adding the group ID will add a new property group_id to reduce the impact to existing resources, force changing the ID values will cause the resource recreated.
