Good Morning,

I’m trying to re-use a WebSocketAPI in a project and I assumed that adding this would work just as it did for the non-websocket API. However, it does not appear to be working. Another API Resource is getting created.

provider:  
httpApi:  
id:  
Fn::ImportValue: “WebSocketAPI-Id”

However, even with this a new Resource is getting created?
