Hi @jangrewe

Sorry for the issue here. This parameter is not part of Terraform - this is why the error is being returned

Thanks

Hi @stack72, i don't follow, it's mentioned in the docs?

https://www.terraform.io/docs/providers/aws/d/subnet.html

[jangrewe]

And it's also part of Terraform: https://github.com/hashicorp/terraform/blob/master/builtin/providers/aws/data_source_aws_subnet.go

[jangrewe]

Argh, i just noticed that this was for the Data Source, not the Resource... my bad.

Hi @jangrewe

you are mixing up data_sources and resources - we should try and make this much clearer in the documentation

Apologies for this

Paul

I got a similar response while trying to set dns hostnames for a vpc invalid or unknown key: enable_dns_hostnames.

Did not realize the difference between data_resources and resources. As you noted would be nice to have this clearly documented.
