DYNAMIC_METADATA substitution formatter truncation length specifier rejected #42064
Description
Title: DYNAMIC_METADATA length specifier rejected
Description:
The substitution formatter DYNAMIC_METADATA(x:y):z is rejected when the z truncation length specifier is included.
The format is documented here: https://www.envoyproxy.io/docs/envoy/latest/configuration/observability/access_log/usage.html#config-access-log-format-dynamic-metadata
Dynamic Metadata info, where NAMESPACE is the filter namespace used when setting the metadata, KEY is an optional lookup key in the namespace with the option of specifying nested keys separated by ‘:’, and Z is an optional parameter denoting string truncation up to Z characters long.
Unfortunately, when used (e.g. in a json access log formatter), it's rejected with the message:
DYNAMIC_METADATA does not allow length to be specified.
