Cannot complete Certificate Profile under Artifact Signing Accounts

We have completed the Identity validation and can see the status as Complete. While creating the Certificate Profile, and we select Public Trust, the "Verified CN and O" returns an error "Please complete the Identity Validation".

But as mentioned we can see Complete under Identity Validation.

If we select "Private Trust" then the Verified CN & O is populated. But we want to create the Certificate Profile as Public Trust. Any suggestions?

    For a Public Trust certificate profile, the selected Verified CN and O must come from a completed Public identity validation that aligns with the Public Trust model. A Private Trust identity validation can populate Private Trust profiles, but it cannot be used for a Public Trust profile.

    Checks to perform:

    1. In the Azure portal, open the Artifact Signing account.
    2. Go to Objects > Identity validations.
    3. Open the validation that shows Completed and confirm it was created as:
      • Organization > New Identity > Public
      • not Private
    4. If the completed validation is Private, create a new Public identity validation. Public identity validation is the one that applies to these certificate profile types: Public Trust, Public Trust Test, and VBS Enclave.
    5. After the Public identity validation finishes successfully, go to Objects > Certificate profiles > Create > Public Trust and select that completed validation in Verified CN and O.

    Important behavior:

    • A prerequisite for creating any certificate profile is to have at least one completed identity validation request.
    • Identity validations and certificate profiles align with either Public Trust or Private Trust. A Public Trust identity validation is used only for certificate profiles that are used for the Public Trust model.
    • Identity validation can be completed only in the Azure portal.

    If the validation is already a completed Public identity validation and the portal still says "Please complete the Identity Validation", the available context does not provide a documented self-service fix for that portal mismatch.

    We completed the Identity validation using Private because our organisation is a Private entity based in United Kingdom.
    Can we still complete validation using Public?
