Terraform Version

+ provider registry.terraform.io/hashicorp/aws v3.29.1
+ provider registry.terraform.io/terraform-providers/datadog v2.21.0

Affected Resource(s)

• datadog_dashboard

Terraform Configuration Files

Any datadog dashboard with an id parameter specified

Expected Behavior

Terraform should plan / apply the dashboard with my chosen ID

Actual Behavior

Error: : invalid or unknown key: id

Steps to Reproduce

terraform plan or terraform apply any datadog dashboard with an ID parameter set.

Important Factoids

The docs mention that an ID parameter can be set, but the code doesn't actually have that parameter. So either the docs need to be updated or the provider does, I'm just not sure which.

id is a protected attribute in Terraform. We switched to generated documentation and it started exposing this I think (because It's an attribute? Not sure why it's not marked as such). We'll update the doc, thanks.

Got it, thanks @therve!

Faced same and it took me here. Clear now.
Was working to get the dashboard URL in outputs. If I know the ID before, it's possible to make dashboard URL.
But it's possible via like this too. I don't need to know the ID beforehand.

output "dashboard_url" {
  value = join("", [
    "https://app.datadoghq.eu",
    datadog_dashboard.dashboard_resource_name.url
  ])
  description = "URL for the dashboard"
}

Thanks for the report on this. As therve noted, we're using the tfplugindocs generation tool. I've opened an issue upstream (and a corresponding PR to attempt a fix) - hashicorp/terraform-plugin-docs#45
