az functionapp create --environment only works for containerapp environment in the same resource group

[sausagedogcoffee]

Describe the bug

When using " az functionapp create" for deploying a function to a containerapp environment, the "--environment" must be in the same resource group as "--resource-group".

--storage-account also used to have this issue but you can reference the full ID to fix it.

az functionapp create --name functionapp1 --resource-group rg-apps --environment "cae-apps"

Expected behavior

The function app is deployed to the container app in another resource group, this is what happens when deploying using the portal

Hi @sausagedogcoffee,

2.67.0 is not the latest Azure CLI(2.68.0).

If you haven't already attempted to do so, please upgrade to the latest Azure CLI version by following https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cli/azure/update-azure-cli.
