 Description   

Use case:

Use auto-registration feature with HostInterface set:
https://www.zabbix.com/documentation/current/en/manual/discovery/auto_registration#using-dns-as-default-interface

During first auto-registration interface created with both fields populated IP and DNS, and DNS is set to default connection method.

For example, host is moved to another network or between data-centers or between on-premises and cloud.

Monitoring still works through DNS, but IP stored inside interface settings is incorrect.

This makes {HOST.IP} macro unusable and information provided by Zabbix is incorrect.

Please add ability to refresh this information on regular basics.
