Relevant debug or panic output

Error: error updating synthetics API test from /api/v1/synthetics/tests/api/{public_id}: 400 Bad Request: {"errors":["'extractedValues' value '{'field': 'location', 'name': 'AUTHORIZE_URL', 'parser': {'type': 'raw', 'value': ''}, 'secure': False, 'type': 'http_header'}' is invalid"]}

Expected Behavior

Per API docs the "value" config should not be set for the "raw" type parser. https://docs.datadoghq.com/api/latest/synthetics/#edit-an-api-test

Actual Behavior

It fails to edit the existing Synthetic Test when upgrading the terraform datadog provider version from 3.32.0 to 3.44.1

Datadog Terraform Provider Version

= 3.39.0

Unable to create or update tests with the extracted_value option and the parser type set to 'raw'. The Provider version had not been changed. Tried with multiple Provider versions and as recent as version 3.44.1

Relevant debug or panic output

Error: error creating synthetics API test from /api/v1/synthetics/tests/api: 400 Bad Request: {"errors":["'extractedValues' value '{'field': 'location', 'name': 'OKTA_REDIRECT_URL', 'parser': {'type': 'raw', 'value': ''}, 'secure': False, 'type': 'http_header'}' is invalid"]}

Workaround:

Change the parser type to regex and use value .* as the regex.

From:

     extracted_value {
      name  = "AUTHORIZE_URL"
      type  = "http_header"
      field = "location"
      parser {
        type = "raw"
      }

to:

     extracted_value {
      name  = "AUTHORIZE_URL"
      type  = "http_header"
      field = "location"
      parser {
        type = "regex"
        value = ".*"
      }
