Description

resource "aws_cloudformation_stack_set_instance" "example" {
deployment_targets {
organizational_unit_ids = [data.aws_organizations_organization.example.roots[0].id]
}

region = "eu-west-2"
stack_set_name = aws_cloudformation_stack_set.example.name
}
This inference to the documentation shows above However this gives error in creation, stack_set_name should read aws_cloudformation_stack_set.example.id as per attributes refrences decleared in aws_cloudformation_stack_set (https://registry.terraform.io/providers/hashicorp/aws/5.19.0/docs/resources/cloudformation_stack_set)

This is so funny because using either of them works. I’d be happy to work on the issue by updating the documentation. Updating the “aws_cloudfotmstion_stack_set” resource to use “name” instead of “id” as its attribute reference improves better readability.

@Haykhay you referenced a link to the old documentation (version 5.19). However, the issue still persists in the new documentation, version 5.22.
