-> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/groups/gitlab-org/-/epics/2673) in GitLab 13.0.
+> - [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/groups/gitlab-org/-/epics/2673) in GitLab 13.0.
+> - Support for state names that contain periods introduced in GitLab 15.7 [with a flag](../../../administration/feature_flags.md) named `allow_dots_on_tf_state_names`. Disabled by default. [Enabled on GitLab.com](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/merge_requests/106861) in GitLab 15.7.

+FLAG:
+On self-managed GitLab, by default support for state names that contain periods is not available. To make it available, ask an administrator to [enable the feature flag](../../../administration/feature_flags.md) named `allow_dots_on_tf_state_names`. On GitLab.com, support for state names that contain periods is available. Requests for state files might generate HTTP 404 errors after enabling this feature. For more information, see [Troubleshooting the Terraform integration with GitLab](troubleshooting.md#state-not-found-if-the-state-name-contains-a-period).
