I am running the following API Call at /api/dcim/interfaces/ and I am unable to specify the VDC by name and device name
When running the same API Call using the VDC id, everything works perfectly.

{
"name": "INTERFACE_NAME",
"type": "virtual",
"device": { "name": "DEVICE_NAME" },
"vdcs": [
{
"name": "VDC_NAME",
"device": { "name": "VDC_DEVICE" }
}
],
"parent": { "name": "PARENT_INTERFACE" }
}

I get the following error

{
"vdcs": [
"Incorrect type. Expected pk value, received dict."
]
}

I could run a query to find the VDC ID, but then I am also unable to filter by DEVICE NAME. I have VDCs with identical names but on different devices, so I always get multiple answers to my query.
