Deployment manager Disk DeviceName not working

[Developer31]

Hello
I have the following template for deployment manager, as highlighted, I set a custom name for the disk tat will created for the instance called 'the-first-vm', this is how it is done using the dashboard, you edit the 'Device Name' field on disk section

however after deploying the stack with the following command:

$ gcloud deployment-manager deployments create teststack2 --config gcp-template.yml

the disk name is not testdisk but 'my-first-vm', so it just followed the instance name and did not take into account the name I told it to use in the template, see the picture below

Has anyone encountered this or knows how to solve it? We have 'enhanced support' gcp support plan, but they refuse to help on this.
