I verified that settings vnet_default_interface to none also solves the issue, thanks!

Glad to hear you resolved it and yes, that's how you would have to configure interfaces describing your bridge. Btw you can also set vnet_default_interface to "none" which will mean that iocae will not try to add the interface to the bridge.
We'll fix the UI part, thanks.

Yes that seems to have solved it. But I am still supposed to use vnet0:bridge20 as the interface in order to get the jail onto VLAN 20? Right now it's configured like this:
VLAN20 maybe doesn't show up in the GUI since no IP-address is assigned to it? The IP is assigned to bridge20.

that is interesting Can you please try via CLI and we can fix the choices issue in the UI ? In the CLI you would do something like
By having bridges properly configured, i meant that they were setup from the UI and not auto-created by iocage as the auto-created ones are for simple network setups and one needs to be careful as to what he/she has configured.

That interface doesn't show up in the list:
My interfaces:
What more exactly do you mean by "would be nice to make sure bridge is properly configured"?
I recently setup the Plex plugin on my FreeNAS box. Shortly after I noticed that devices couldn't connect to my network. Everything with a static IP worked fine but everything that used DHCP couldn't get an IP. And in some cases it got an IP but on the wrong subnet.
I noticed the problem went away when I turned off the FreeNAS box. I also noticed that the devices that got an IP always got it on the same subnet as the Plex jail.
I opened a shell for the jail and started running tcpdump for port 67 and 68 and tried to connect a device using DHCP. And tcpdump showed that the Plex jail tried to respond to the request.
Is this really correct behaviour? Why would there be a DCHP server running in the Plex jail serving IP-addresses?
I'm running FreeNAS 11.3-U5.
