Research direction

Start by comparing Feature Flag creation through SetConfigurationSettingAsync with the Azure Portal behavior described in the issue, focusing on how colons are handled in the flag Name versus Key. Determine whether the difference is intended and identify the relevant validation or service documentation; done means the behavior is clarified and any required handling is agreed.

Description

question

Hello Everyone!

I've noted that, through the endpoint SetConfigurationSettingAsync, it's possible to create a Feature Flag with the character colon (:) inside it's Name. Instead, through the Azure Portal it's possible to create a Feature Flag with the character colon only inside it's Key.

Is this behaviors intended? Or maybe it's a Bug?

Thanks.
