IDS profile product list - bad support about terraform-provider-nsxt HOT 3 CLOSED

Hello @SimonRiddle-123, looks like you're providing wrong format for products_affected attribute.
It should be Windows_XP_Vista_7_8_10_Server_32_64_Bit rather than Windows XP Vista 7 8 10 Server 32 64 Bit
I tried your config and the profile is indeed stuck in uninitialized state. However if you replace spaces with underscores in the products_affected, the profile realizes nicely.
On the provider side, we'd rather not enforce a list of products in validation, since the list can evolve. However, I think platform should error out when wrong value format is provided in the API, especially since UI display the value differently, so this looks like a bug on platform side. I've notified the platform folks.
Thank you for reporting this issue!

I'm keeping this open for now, since we're considering validating or auto-correcting the format in the provider.

Looks like there is no standard format for this field - unfortunately we can't enforce format underscores without compromising potential valid values.. What we can do is to provide some format examples in documentation. Hopefully this would eliminate some confusion.
