V4 client Add property sets skip\_vectorization to false even after explicitly mentioning to set it to true.

Class schema:

```auto
{
	"status_code": 1,
	"status_type": "RESPONSE_STATUS_OK",
	"status_message": "Count retrieved",
	"results": {
		"count": 0,

	}
}

```

Added a new property

```auto
collection.config.add_property(
    weaviate.classes.config.Property(
        name="test_property",
        data_type=weaviate.collections.classes.config.DataType.BOOL, 
        skip_vectorization=True
    )
)

```

After adding property class schema:

```auto

Hi! Sorry for the delay here. Missed this one ☹

I was able to reproduce this.

Thanks for reporting!
