new-extension-manifest does not generates a proper XML output

[Nimesh-Msys]

While trying to execute the following command with CLI Version 1.2.4, we do get a proper expected XML output. But it doesn't works well with later versions.

Command

azure-extensions-cli_linux_amd64 new-extension-manifest \
--management-url URL \
--subscription-id ID \
--subscription-cert Cert \
--package Package \
--storage-base-url core.windows.net \
--storage-account Account \
--namespace Namespace \
--name Name \
--version Version \
--label Custom-Label \
--description Custom-Desc \
--eula-url EULA-URL \
--privacy-url Privacy-URL \
--homepage-url Homepage \
--company My-Company \
--supported-os windows

Output with CLI v1.2.7 & 1.2.6:

<ExtensionImage xmlns="">
  <ProviderNameSpace>Namespace</ProviderNameSpace>
  <Type>Name</Type>
  <Version>Version</Version>
  <Label>label</Label>
  <HostingResources></HostingResources>
  <MediaLink>ZIP</MediaLink>
  <Endpoints></Endpoints>
  <Description>description</Description>
  <LocalResources></LocalResources>
  <IsInternalExtension>true</IsInternalExtension>
  <Eula>eula-url</Eula>
  <PrivacyUri>privacy-url</PrivacyUri>
  <HomepageUri>homepage-url</HomepageUri>
  <IsJsonExtension>true</IsJsonExtension>
  <CompanyName>company</CompanyName>
  <SupportedOS>supported-os</SupportedOS>
</ExtensionImage>

Expected Output (Working till v1.2.4)

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<ExtensionImage xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/windowsazure"  xmlns:i="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">

  <IsJsonExtension>true</IsJsonExtension>
  <CompanyName>My-Company</CompanyName>
  <SupportedOS>windows</SupportedOS>
  <!--%REGIONS%-->
</ExtensionImage>

What we see here is, only few user inputs are considered. We don't see any changes in help topics of new-extension-manifest. Is there anything we need to take care of or this PR might need to be revisited

Any update on this ?

@boumenot @roiyz-msft Any advice you can give to @Nimesh-Msys here would be appreciated - we can only currently use the tool at 1.2.4 to promote a single region, two regions or all regions but would like to use the new approach (specifying the region property multiple times for the number of regions to target in that round)
