OraOperator v1.2.0 automatic failover issues when reinstating new standby

[andbos]

I'm trying out the new Automatic failover feature. Could you perhaps suggest a good way of testing it? I deleted the primary SIDB pod and this triggered automatic failover alright but reinstation of the new standby fails with error:
