The re-introduction of some of the ambiguity between argument and nested block syntax (for compatibility with existing provider patterns) unfortunately leads to some interesting consequences for attributes using this mode. While the behavior is generally as before in straightforward cases, this page aims to spell out some of the different usage patterns explicitly for the benefit of those writing more complex configurations, such as generic re-usable modules where using argument vs. block syntax leads to some real differences. This page is intentionally not linked from anywhere in the part of the website maintained in the Terraform repository. Instead, it can be linked from the provider documentation for any argument where this pattern is used, to help users understand the ways in which that argument might deviate from the usual behaviors of arguments vs. nested blocks.
