Nested JSON items body_template in logzio_endpoint

[Tenchi2xh]

Hi ! I would like to do the following:

resource "logzio_endpoint" "pagerduty" {
  title         = "..."
  description   = "..."
  endpoint_type = "custom"

  custom {
    url    = "https://..."
    method = "POST"

    headers = {
      "Authorization" = "..."
      "Content-type"  = "application/json"
    }

    body_template = {
      "foo" = "..."
      "bar" = {
        "baz" = "..."
        "b4r" = "..."
      }
    }
  }
}

Since many endpoints have APIs which require nested objects, I am attempting to do that by nesting maps in maps for body_template.

However, the type of body_template is hard set to map of strings which renders this task impossible (manually JSON-encoding the nested objects will result in a double encode with escaped characters):

Inappropriate value for attribute "body_template": element "bar": string
required.

Would it be possible to change the type to string and let the users wrap the whole map with a jsonencode()? That would enable users to use real world APIs and also as an added benefit allow for integer and float types.

Thanks for your time

For now I will be forced to create some proxy that accepts a flattened version of the JSON object (where nested paths are represented with dots), unflattens it and proxies it to the destination API.

Hi sorry for the late reply :) Unfortunately I moved on from that project and cannot test this anymore, but I hope this will help somebody else!
