Connection Reference not showing connections due to connector ID mismatch in managed solution

Hi all,

We are running into an issue with connection references and custom connectors across environments, and would appreciate any guidance.

Context:

We are deploying a managed solution (Core Build) across environments (Dev → UAT → Prod) which includes:

A custom connector: Stripe - Donations Connector

A connection reference used by flows

Issue:

In one environment(PRD) , when trying to assign a connection to the connection reference, the dropdown shows no available connections, even though:

The custom connector exists

Multiple connections have been created successfully

Connections are shared with users and service accounts

Investigation:

In the Custom Connector → Test tab, connections are visible and usable

However, in the connection reference screen, the Connector field appears blank or does not match

It appears that the connection reference is pointing to a different connector ID than the actual connector in the environment

The connector and connection reference were created at nearly the same time, which may have caused a mismatch

Comparison:

In other environments (UAT ), this works correctly

In those environments, the connector was created before the connection reference

Constraints:

The solution is managed, so we cannot modify or recreate the connection reference
We want to avoid creating unmanaged components or editing managed flows
