Create In-App Purchase fails with "Only alphanumeric characters allowed" validation error for Product ID

Yesterday (May 16, 2022) I create an in-app purchase item (non-consumable) on appstore connect with a product ID "myapp.test.pro.perm" and it worked fine. Today I tried to create a 2nd item (non-consumable) for the exact same app with the product ID "mobileviewer.test.pro.trial.30day" and it will not allow it as when I focus out of the Product ID field it puts up a text validation error of "Only alphanumeric characters allowed". What is going on here? Was there some policy change of allowed product IDs or is this a website bug?

Answering myself -- apparently this was a bug in app store connect, because as of today, I was able to create an IAP with a product ID with dots in it as expected. I did not see any acknowledgement of the issue from Apple, but maybe I missed it.
