Hi @carlosjgp

sorry for the late follow-up.
I had just come back from parental leave. 👶

were you able to resolve this?

otherwise, please allow me to try to address your question 😄

There are 2 types of SSH keys you can create for a CircleCI project:

1. a checkout key (used to git clone your repo)
2. a general SSH key (useful for your CircleCI job to SSH into a remote server like EC2 instance for example).

The screenshot you are sharing is for (2).
Right now, there is no way to create a SSH key for a CircleCI project via this provider.
This is because there is no public APIs from CircleCI to add a SSH key.
You can do so manually via the UI on CircleCI still.

If you are referring to a checkout key where you can also push (write) to your repo, then you are referring to (1).
For this, you need a user key (not deploy key).
You can then use this provider to generate a user key (via the circleci_checkout_key resource).
See example here:
