Spoke too soon, there's also this: https://docs.getdbt.com/reference/resource-properties/tests#accepted_values

The problem that made me find all of these is trying to figure out why the dbt-core accepted_values: test fails because it's not quoting columns even though I have all the quote settings turned on. I have a hard time believing no one would have caught this before, so I'm trying to find something in the docs before filing a dbt-core bug report.

And this one https://docs.getdbt.com/reference/resource-properties/quote

@alison985 Great point that we should link/reconcile/merge/something all these related pages 💡

I just added the key thing you pointed out about quote for accepted_values to #3518. If I missed anything, please comment within that issue 🙏

I think we have everything covered in #3518 now, so I'm going to close this one as a duplicate.
