Steps to reproduce

Steps to Reproduce

1. Create a Cloudflare DNS TXT Record using Terraform:

   resource "cloudflare_record" "example" {
     zone_id = module.cf-config-base-so-sandbox-org.zone_id
     name    = "terraform-test"
     content = "terraform.so-sandbox.org"
     type    = "TXT"
     ttl     = 1
   }

2. Apply the Terraform configuration:

terraform apply

3. Check the created DNS record in Cloudflare:

• Navigate to the DNS settings for your zone in the Cloudflare dashboard.
• Locate the terraform-test TXT record.

Thank you for reporting this issue! For maintainers to dig into issues it is required that all issues include the entirety of TF_LOG=DEBUG output to be provided. The only parts that should be redacted are your user credentials in the X-Auth-Key, X-Auth-Email and Authorization HTTP headers. Details such as zone or account identifiers are not considered sensitive but can be redacted if you are very cautious. This log file provides additional context from Terraform, the provider and the Cloudflare API that helps in debugging issues. Without it, maintainers are very limited in what they can do and may hamper diagnosis efforts.

This issue has been marked with triage/needs-information and is unlikely to receive maintainer attention until the log file is provided making this a complete bug report.
