Quickly testing this, it seems the API does accept names of only 1 character like the other *_policy_assignment resources, so to avoid breaking existing configurations that may be using that we should change this to 1

Suggested change
validation.StringLenBetween(3, 24),
validation.StringLenBetween(1, 24),

E.g. this worked:

resource "azurerm_management_group_policy_assignment" "test" {
  name                 = "a"
  management_group_id  = azurerm_management_group.test.id
  policy_definition_id = data.azurerm_policy_definition.test.id
  parameters = jsonencode({
    "listOfAllowedLocations" = {
      "value" = [azurerm_resource_group.test.location]
    }
  })
}

Could you update the documentation as well?

Ah thanks for the docs, was not aware this existed. Updated the length and added the additional validations too.

Thanks @ezhong-msft , I'll leave this to @sreallymatt for review as he is the owner of this component.

The code looks good to me in general, however wondering whether we should make it super clear in the doc as about what characters are not allowed, but I am not too fussy about this.

Thanks again for the work.
