Description

the docs state that only label is required and also feature this as the minimal example:

data "ibm_compute_ssh_key" "public_key" {
    label = "Terraform Public Key"
}

however, running tf validate against the example shows that public_key is also required

╷
│ Error: Missing required argument
│ 
│   on main.tf line 46, in resource "ibm_compute_ssh_key" "k8s_ssh_key":
│   46: resource "ibm_compute_ssh_key" "k8s_ssh_key" {
│ 
│ The argument "public_key" is required, but no definition was found.
╵

the docs should be corrected to also list public_key as required

seems like the error is in resource and you are looking at the documents for datasource

On this page, it is mentioned that public_key is required

public_key- (Required, String) The public SSH key.
