 ### Bugs Fixed
 
-### Other Changes
+- Fixed an issue that if `LoadBalancingRuleData.FrontendIPConfigurationId` or other hidden properties on `LoadBalancingRuleData` class are assigned with values, the corresponding service operation would fail with `NullReferenceException` because the collection properties on `LoadBalancingRuleData` class are not initialized.
