Hi @WoodooTek - based on the crash log, the panic is happening in the vsphere provider, not in Terraform core:
2020-09-30T15:50:03.545+0200 [DEBUG] plugin.terraform-provider-vsphere_v1.24.0_x4: panic: interface conversion: interface {} is nil, not string

In that error message, you can see the error is coming from the terraform-provider-vsphere_v1.24.0_x4 binary, which is the vsphere provider. This GitHub repository is for Terraform Core, and you will need to open an issue for this with the vSphere provider at https://github.com/hashicorp/terraform-provider-vsphere/issues instead. I'm going to close this, because this repository is only for issues with Terraform Core itself. Thank you for reporting this, and I hope you bring this to the vSphere provider so they can work on it.
