Metadata SSM fails for non-strings
AFT Version: 1.6.0
Bug Description In the metadata SSM lambda, if the custom_fields is not strictly a map of strings, the SSM apply fails.
To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior: In the terraform for the account request, set custom_fields to something with a non-string, i.e.: custom_fields = {"foo": [1, 2]} Create the account, or invoke the customisation. You'll get an error in aft-account-provisioning-framework-account-metadata-ssm
Expected behavior No error
Related Logs Invalid type for parameter Value, value: [1,2], type: <class 'list'>, valid types: <class 'str'>
Additional context Workaround: Modify the lambda to add the line: custom_fields = {key: str(value) for (key, value) in custom_fields.items() Arguably, a better solution would be a string of JSON.
@jarrod-lowe thank you for reaching out.
Currently this behavior is as per design, however, we do have an existing backlog to support structured JSON as input to custom_fields
