What is the problem?

When trying to create a StringParameter of type ssm.ParameterType.AWS_EC2_IMAGE_ID, CDK throws the following error.

1 validation error detected: Value 'AWS::EC2::Image::Id' at 'type' failed to satisfy constraint: Member must satisfy enum value set: [SecureString, StringList, String]. (Service: AmazonSSM; Status Code: 400; Error Code: Validat
ionException; Request ID: 2c97174a-045e-4451-be0a-b61d8f5a2fe8; Proxy: null)

Reproduction Steps

image_parameter = ssm.StringParameter(self, 'ImageBuilderAMI',
type = ssm.ParameterType.AWS_EC2_IMAGE_ID,
parameter_name = '/ec2-imagebuilder/latest',
description = "Latest AMI Image",
string_value = self.node.try_get_context(env_context)["LinuxAmi"]
)

What did you expect to happen?

Since it is StringParameter, there should be an additional value passed in the constructor data_type.

This is a working version using ssm.CfnParameter.

    image_parameter = ssm.CfnParameter(self, "ImageBuilderAMI",
        type = "String",
        data_type = "aws:ec2:image",
        name = "/ec2-imagebuilder/latest",
        description = "Latest AMI Image",
        value = self.node.try_get_context(env_context)["LinuxAmi"] 
        )

What actually happened?

Stack failed to create.
