Description

I want the CFT to throw an error when the Cidr2ndary value is empty if the IsCidrRequired is true. But the Assertion doesn't throw any error when no value is defined for Cidr2ndary when the IsCidrRequired is true.

The AWS document below has an example that has similar use case but that doesn't seem to be working. I think this is an limitation or bug in CFT when trying it from web console

https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/UserGuide/rules-section-structure.html

Parameters:
IsCidrRequired:
Type: String
Default: 'false'

Cidr2ndary:
Type: String
Default: ""

Rules:
testIsCidrRequired:
RuleCondition: !Equals
- !Ref IsCidrRequired
- 'true'
Assertions:
- Assert: !Not
- !Equals
- !Ref Cidr2ndary
- AWS::NoValue
AssertDescription: 'If IsCidrRequired == True, then Cidr2ndary must be specified'

Research direction

Start by reproducing the template from the issue in the AWS CloudFormation web console, using the linked Rules section documentation as the reference. Verify whether an empty Cidr2ndary value with IsCidrRequired set to true produces an assertion error; done means the documented required-value behavior is enforced or the limitation is clearly identified.
