Key Value Map Operations policy not working as expected

Google Cloud Apigee

I’m trying to use a key-value map in my proxy. While initializing the Key-value pair using Parameter Ref as key, it is throwing an error saying “Invalid Key Names for entries”.

My code snippet:

<InitialEntries> 
  <Entry> 
    <Key> 
      <Parameter ref="key_name_variable"></Parameter> 
    </Key> 
    <Value>xx</Value> 
  </Entry> 
</InitialEntries>

But when i referred the Document :http://apigee.com/docs/api-services/reference/key-value-map-operations-policy

It contains the same format. Snippet from the Document:

<InitialEntries>
  <Entry>
    <Key>
      <Parameter>key_name_literal</Parameter>
    </Key>
    <Value>v1</Value>
  </Entry>
  <Entry>
    <Key>
      <Parameter ref="key_name_variable"></Parameter>
    </Key>
    <Value>v3</Value>
    <Value>v4</Value>
  </Entry>
</InitialEntries>

Please let me know if anyone has faced the same problem or how can it be resolved.

It is possible that your key contains invalid characters. Can you paste an example key value?

As for which characters are invalid; I believe slashes and colons are not valid for use in KVM key values.

adding to @sriki77, have you initialized this flow variable “key_name_variable”?, the value of the variable “key_name_variable” will be used as a key.

the plus sign is also invalid. “+”
