Hi @hansmbakker , as I tested we can successfully provision the azurerm_application_insights_workbook with category="workItems" with AzureRM v4.6.0. The provider only validate the value as a non-empty string before send it to Azure API, as in the doc, There may be additional category types beyond the following: workbook, sentinel.

I tried it, I agree, it is a documentation issue. Can you please route it to the correct place?

The following code works for me:

# Create a workbook for creating work items in Azure DevOps
# This is the IaC version of https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-monitor/app/release-and-work-item-insights?tabs=work-item-integration#create-and-configure-a-work-item-template
resource "azurerm_application_insights_workbook" "new-workitem-workbook" {
  # name is required to be a guid
  name                = random_uuid.new-workitem-workbook.result
  resource_group_name = azurerm_resource_group.monitoring.name
  location            = azurerm_resource_group.monitoring.location
  display_name        = "Application Insights work item template"

  # BUG: https://github.com/hashicorp/terraform-provider-azurerm/issues/27755
  # lower(...) is required until the bug is fixed
  source_id = lower(azurerm_application_insights.monitoring.id)

  category = "workItems"

  data_json = templatefile("monitoring-templates/new-workitem-workbook.json.tpl",
    {
      application_insights_id  = azurerm_application_insights.monitoring.id,
      azure_devops_project_url = var.azure_devops_project_url,
  })

  tags = {
    # hidden-xxx tags are copied as-is from generated workbook (including the typo in AzuzreDevOps). Not sure what they are used for.
    # "hidden-title" is not used because it throws a terraform error saying that display_name should be used instead
    "hidden-workitemworkbook" = "AzuzreDevOps"
  }
}
