Running grafana enterprise self hosted version 13.2.0. trying to setup folderless git sync and my terraform provider returns this error. This is supposed to be enabled on 13.2.0, what is happening there?

`│ Error: invalid value for field "spec.target":`  
`│`  
`│ with grafana_apps_provisioning_repository_v0alpha1.dashboards,`  
`│ on git_sync.tf line 22, in resource "grafana_apps_provisioning_repository_v0alpha1" "dashboards":`

`folderless` is supported by Git Sync, but this error indicates that the Grafana Terraform provider/API you’re using does not recognize `folderless`.

First, check your Grafana Terraform provider version. Git Sync’s Terraform documentation requires `grafana/grafana >= 4.28.1`

```bash
terraform providers

```

If you’re on an older version, upgrade it

```bash
terraform init -upgrade

```

Then run `terraform apply` again.

If you’re already on `>= 4.28.1`, please share the provider version and your `grafana_apps_provisioning_repository_v0alpha1` resource configuration. That would be needed to determine why Grafana 13.2.0 is rejecting `folderless`.
