Bug Description
In Release 1.13.2, the resource aws_codestarconnections_connection fails to be created due to the name exceeding the 32-character limit.

To Reproduce
Apply the following example configuration using the affected version:

module "aft" {
  source = "github.com/aws-ia/terraform-aws-control_tower_account_factory?ref=1.13.2"
  # Required Vars
  ct_management_account_id    = "111122223333"
  log_archive_account_id      = "444455556666"
  audit_account_id            = "123456789012"
  aft_management_account_id   = "777788889999"
  ct_home_region              = "us-east-1"
  tf_backend_secondary_region = "us-west-2"
  # VCS Vars
  vcs_provider                                  = "gitlabselfmanaged"
  gitlab_selfmanaged_url                        = "https://gitlab.example.com"
  account_request_repo_name                     = "ExampleProject/example-repo-1"
  global_customizations_repo_name               = "ExampleProject/example-repo-2"
  account_customizations_repo_name              = "ExampleProject/example-repo-3"
  account_provisioning_customizations_repo_name = "ExampleProject/example-repo-4"
}

Expected behavior
The resource should be created successfully when the name attribute adheres to the 32-character limit.

Additional context
The name attribute should be updated to a value that is 32 characters or fewer. For example:

resource "aws_codestarconnections_connection" "gitlabselfmanaged" {
  count    = local.vcs.is_gitlab_selfmanaged ? 1 : 0
  name     = "ct-aft-gitlab-selfmanaged"
  host_arn = aws_codestarconnections_host.gitlabselfmanaged[0].arn
}

Same issue here. As stated above, the name must be < 32 characters. Reducing the length of the name will allow us to use gitlab self-managed with AFT. Any update as to when this can be addressed? Forced to fork it for now, as a workaround.

Hello,

Any update on this? This is basically making it impossible to use the official module with self managed GitLab. We have to fork the repo and modify the connection name to be shorter than the 32 limit.
