Hello team, Wanted to add a enhancement request for a recent feature of WAF WebACL where it allows for adding Data Protection and logging experience [1].

Currently it is supported for the CreateWebACL API and UpdateWebACL API where it allows us to specify DataProtectionConfig [2][3].

Research direction

Start with the AWS::WAFv2::WebACL resource entry and compare its current coverage with the CreateWebACL and UpdateWebACL API references, focusing on DataProtectionConfig. Done means CloudFormation can express and apply the requested data-protection and logging configuration for WebACL.
