Steps to Reproduce the Issue

Try and apply the following configuration with napalam configure replace. If I run configure replace from the switch cli the commands work. Ansible module fails as well. I tried both straight python and ansible.

router eigrp Century
!
address-family ipv4 unicast autonomous-system 300
!
af-interface default
passive-interface
exit-af-interface
!
topology base
exit-af-topology
network 10.126.0.0 0.0.127.255
network 172.31.0.40 0.0.0.0
nsf

@paulbauer1 Let me see if I can reproduce.

Remind me in two weeks if I forget (as I am leaving on Christmas travel soon).

Will do. Have a good break.

Also, when running the command directly with netmiko it seems that the issue occurs when the "revert trigger error" parameters are included in the configure replace command. If I include only force the error does not seem to occur.

I can also set the following optional args and it will work. This seems to avoid the error.
optional_args:
auto_rollback_on_error: false
revert_in_min: false
