I use VS Code to edit these files and the list of values it accepts as valid is completely different to those listed in this article. It says 'Valid values: "webApp", "webAppLinux", "webAppContainer", "functionApp", "functionAppLinux", "functionAppContainer", "apiApp", "mobileApp".'

This issue hasn't been updated in more than 180 days, so we've closed it. If you feel the issue is still relevant and needs fixed, please reopen it and we'll take another look. We appreciate your feedback and apologize for any inconvenience.

[HughDevlin]

Please re-open this issue.

Please clarify the documentation for the WebAppKind argument.

I don't really get why people use bots to close cases just because of how old they are. Just because no one has bothered to fix the issue does not mean it isn't an issue any more. Basically by closing old issues without giving a reason it gives the impression that no one cares that customers are having issues. I get the impression MS would rather we used GitHub instead of DevOps.

I am working off of a paid in full subscription. I take time to report an issue with the docs. Agree, MS apparently feels if they can successfully ignore an issue for 6 months they can close it, too. I guess November 2020 was a banner month for doc quality thanks to the efforts of cxwtool. cxwtool is MS's most productive team member.

It wouldn't bother me so if we were allowed to simply reopen the tickets. However, all the tickets I've raised that had this happen, I didn't seem to have permission to reopen.
