The MS documentation states the following app setting for Logic Apps and Function Apps is legacy
WEBSITE_CONTENTOVERVNET and should be replaced with WEBSITE_CONTENTSHARE when using private endpoints on secure storage accounts with Azure Functions and Logic Apps.
This is however false and without WEBSITE_CONTENTOVERVNET set to 1 our deployments fail. Setting the new WEBSITE_CONTENTSHARE setting doesn't work.
Please update your documentation as this setting is clearly not legacy and is required otherwise deployments with Terraform fail. See below documents which should be corrected:

The WEBSITE_CONTENTOVERVNET setting is indeed described as a legacy app setting in the Microsoft documentation. It has been replaced by the vnetContentShareEnabled site property. The documentation states that a value of 1 for WEBSITE_CONTENTOVERVNET enables your function app to scale when the storage account is restricted to a virtual network, but it is only required when using WEBSITE_CONTENTSHARE and WEBSITE_CONTENTAZUREFILECONNECTIONSTRING.If you are experiencing deployment failures when using Terraform without this setting, it may be necessary to ensure that your configurations align with the requirements of your specific deployment scenario, including any dependencies on the legacy setting.
