Perhaps better to link to the "Type Constraints" page which describes the types in more detail, or at least use the same verbiage to keep things consistent in the documentation.

Hi, thank you for your comment. I opted to directly link the Type Constraints page. Please let me know if I should change the wording

| List and tuples have differences regarding allowed types. See [tuples](/terraform/language/expressions/type-constraints#tuple) and [lists](/terraform/language/expressions/type-constraints#list) | |||

Tried expanding on this a bit for clarity:
| List and tuples have differences regarding allowed types. See [tuples](/terraform/language/expressions/type-constraints#tuple) and [lists](/terraform/language/expressions/type-constraints#list) | |
| Lists and tuples each have different constraints on the types they allow. For more information on the types that each allows, refer to [tuples](/terraform/language/expressions/type-constraints#tuple) and [lists](/terraform/language/expressions/type-constraints#list). |
This PR adds a section to the Types list of the terraform docs. On this page, it wasn't explained on how lists and tuples differ. As seen in the documentation of the
tolistfunction, they do clearly have a difference.1.10.x
