Hey, that is not supported by the API itself.

The type of resource to tag. Currently, the resource types that support tagging on creation are instance and volume.

[LozanoMatheus]

Hey @DrFaust92, yeah I'm not sure what they mean with that, because you can do it via AWS CLI.

aws ec2 create-launch-template-version --launch-template-id <LT_ID> --version-description TestTags --source-version 5 --launch-template-data '{  "TagSpecifications": [  { "ResourceType": "spot-instances-request", "Tags": [ {"Key": "Key-test","Value": "Value-test"}]}]}'

Huh, let me check this via the sdk and I'll add the missing options. Docs are out of date apparently.

Thanks for finding this!

[DrFaust92]

Thanks @LozanoMatheus, i opened a PR to add support. i saw in the console that you can add support for these! too bad docs are not updated on this

[bflad]

Support for these additional values in the validation has been merged and will release with version 3.3.0 of the Terraform AWS Provider, later this week. Thanks to @DrFaust92 for the implementation. 👍

[ghost]

This has been released in version 3.3.0 of the Terraform AWS provider. Please see the Terraform documentation on provider versioning or reach out if you need any assistance upgrading.

For further feature requests or bug reports with this functionality, please create a new GitHub issue following the template for triage. Thanks!
