Error:

# Tried docker compose yaml version 2.0, 2.1 and 3.0.

Expected:

• The ability to assign Static IP from ExtNet to xxx docker container in the above example.

Update

• Adding ExtNet by itself to the container seems to be OK:

services:
  xxx:
    image: xxx:latest
    networks:
      - ExtNet:
          ipv4_address: 192.168.1.11

It seems that if one of items in "services.xxx.networks" is a string (in this case, "IntNet"), it expects all of the items to be a string.
Would it be possible to change "services.xxx.networks" to expect tuple?

Actually, that second configuration is incorrect as well. networks is either a list of strings or a mapping (that's YAML's name for python's dict). https://docs.docker.com/compose/compose-file/compose-file-v2/#networks

For example, here's a valid format for your desired config:

services:
  xxx:
    image: xxx:latest
    networks:
      ExtNet:
        ipv4_address: 192.168.1.11
      IntNet: {}

Cool that works. Thank you so much :)
