[RHOCP 4.x] The option "--dry-run=server" makes permanent changes to secrets and configmaps

Issue

• Using the option --dry-run=server makes permanent changes to configmaps and secrets in the OpenShift cluster

• When using --dry-run=server as an argument, the changes were made persistently and the config map data gets modified as below. Similar behaviour is observed when used with secrets.

$ oc set data cm/cm-testing --from-literal=name=def --dry-run=server
configmap/cm-testing data updated (server dry run)

 $ oc get cm cm-testing -oyaml
