Describe the bug
I have an argocd application that contains a following configmap:

kind: ConfigMap
metadata:
  annotations:
    kubectl.kubernetes.io/last-applied-configuration: >
      {"apiVersion":"v1","data":{},"kind":"ConfigMap","metadata":{"annotations":{},"labels":{"app.kubernetes.io/instance":"kubecost","config.openshift.io/inject-trusted-cabundle":"true"},"name":"ca-inject","namespace":"kubecost"}}
  creationTimestamp: '2023-12-16T02:24:01Z'
  labels:
    app.kubernetes.io/instance: kubecost
    config.openshift.io/inject-trusted-cabundle: 'true'
  managedFields:
    - apiVersion: v1
      fieldsType: FieldsV1
      fieldsV1:
        'f:data':
          'f:ca-bundle.crt': {}
      manager: cluster-network-operator/configmap_ca
      operation: Apply
      time: '2023-12-16T02:24:01Z'
    - apiVersion: v1
      fieldsType: FieldsV1
      fieldsV1:
        'f:metadata':
          'f:annotations':
            .: {}
            'f:kubectl.kubernetes.io/last-applied-configuration': {}
          'f:labels':
            .: {}
            'f:app.kubernetes.io/instance': {}
            'f:config.openshift.io/inject-trusted-cabundle': {}
      manager: argocd-controller
      operation: Update

As you can see cluster-network-operator/configmap_ca is managing that data field and inject openshift ca-bundle content there. Since that field is different from desired it is always out of sync. I tried to add a configuration to my ArgoCD CDR instance in these ways, but that configmap still out of sync. Also I've spotted that ArgoCD doesn't save a piece of the configuration:

Expected behavior
Configmap is in sync

    This is years too late, but I just stumbled on it now and it might help someone in the future.

    I think the the resource kind is incorrectly cased. I think it should be ConfigMap instead of configmaps

    I use this functionality on some resources and tested with those.

    This works for me:

      ignoreDifferences:
        - group: ''
          kind: ConfigMap
          name: some-configmap
          managedFieldsManagers:
            - some-other-operator

    And this doesn't:

      ignoreDifferences:
        - group: ''
          kind: configmaps
          name: some-configmap
          managedFieldsManagers:
            - some-other-operator
