From 89fba0c34efcb9a1e617e70ec3fda373dd5afad4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Paddy Date: Wed, 26 Apr 2017 15:52:49 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] Make global forwarding rule docs clearer for IP addresses. Update our docs for `google_compute_forwarding_rule` to clarify that the `ip_address` field expects a literal IP address and will not accept the `self_link` property of a `google_compute_address` resource.
