Public bug reported:

The doc on flavors
(https://docs.openstack.org/nova/latest/user/flavors.html) is
inaccurate.

It mentions that Flavor ID is:

| Unique ID (integer or UUID) for the new flavor. This property is
required. If specifying ‘auto’, a UUID will be automatically generated.


But it seems that the "auto" keyword is no longer supported.

The Octavia devstack plugin uses it:

https://opendev.org/openstack/octavia/src/branch/master/devstack/plugin.sh#L610

but it generates a flavor with the id "auto":

$ openstack flavor show m1.amphora

Can you clarify that? is it a doc bug? or a bug in the client?
