NetBox version

v3.4.7

Python version

3.8

Steps to Reproduce

I'm using AWX to create cable terminations using a loop:

  - name: Connecting devices
    netbox.netbox.netbox_cable:
      data: "{{ cable }}"
      state: present
    loop: "{{ cables }}"
    loop_control:
      loop_var: cable
      label: "{{ cable.termination_a.device, cable.termination_a.name, cable.termination_b.name, cable.termination_b.device }}"
    tags: cables

and passing to it the following (mandatory) arguments:

cables:
- termination_a:
    device: DEVICE_A
    name: FC1
  termination_a_type: dcim.interface
  termination_b:
    device: DEVICE_B
    name: port9
  termination_b_type: dcim.interface
  type: mmf-om4
  status: connected
  tags: "{{ defaults.tags }}"

Expected Behavior

Cable connections are created without any errors.

Observed Behavior

Cable connections are actually created but the module is generating a bunch of traceback errors, rendering the task failed.
