natIP: can not reference an IP resource

[Hermann Angstl]

I created a static external IP with Deployment Manager code. No Problem.

I'd like to use this IP to create an Compute Engine Instance.

Setting the field "networkIP" to the URL of an IP ressource works fine, but setting the field "natIP" to such a resource does not work. "natIP" only works with IP addresses (e.g. 35.241.113.34) and not with links to an IP a resource.

Am I doing something wrong or is this a design inconsistency in the API?
          
Example code:

        'name': 'status-tool',
        'type': 'compute.v1.instance',
        'properties': {
        ...
                'networkInterfaces': [{
                        'networkIP': 'https://www.googleapis.com/compute/v1/projects/ccp-management/regions/europe-west1/addresses/...',        # works
                        'accessConfigs': [{
                                'name': 'External NAT',
                                'type': 'ONE_TO_ONE_NAT',
                                'natIP': 'https://www.googleapis.com/compute/v1/projects/ccp-management/regions/europe-west1/addresses/...',    # does not work
                        }]
                }]        
        ...

Setting "natIP" to such a value results in a ResourceErrorMessage (Invalid value for field 'resource.networkInterfaces[0].accessConfigs[0].natIP).
