aws_elasticache_subnet_group missing tags property

[ghost]

This issue was originally opened by @NJITman as hashicorp/terraform#28380. It was migrated here as a result of the provider split. The original body of the issue is below.

---

The aws_elasticache_subnet_group resource is missing the tags argument. The tags can be entered using the AWS console or via the AWS CLI or API.

[Terraform Docs] (https://registry.terraform.io/providers/hashicorp/aws/latest/docs/resources/elasticache_subnet_group)

[AWS CLI2 Docs] (https://awscli.amazonaws.com/v2/documentation/api/latest/reference/elasticache/create-cache-subnet-group.html)

[AWS API Docs] (https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonElastiCache/latest/APIReference/API_CreateCacheSubnetGroup.html)

Example resource block with tags argument added using list format shown in AWS CLI2 doc.

locals {
  cluster_name = "redis-dev"
  private_subnet_ids = [ "subnet-03020100" ]
}

resource "aws_elasticache_subnet_group" "subnet_group" {
  name        = "subnet-group-${local.cluster_name}"
  description = "Subnet Group (${local.cluster_name})"
  subnet_ids  = local.private_subnet_ids
  tags = [
    {
      "key"                 = "Name"
      "value"               = "subnet-group-${local.cluster_name}"
    }
  ]

Debug Output

Error: Unsupported argument

  on modules\redis\main.tf line 13, in resource "aws_elasticache_subnet_group" "subnet_group":
  13:   tags = [

An argument named "tags" is not expected here.

Expected Behavior

Terraform should have created the subnet group resource with the associated tags.

Actual Behavior

Terraform failed with an error (see above).

Steps to Reproduce

1. terraform init
2. terraform plan

[NJITman]

See screenshot of AWS Console below. The cluster was setup with TF, but I was not able to employ my "tag everything" philosophy. 😔

In testing other aspects of the project design, I have run into a few other resources that throw an error when tags attributes are applied, even though the Terraform and AWS documentation indicate tags are a valid attribute.

aws_codedeploy_app

[Terraform Docs] (https://registry.terraform.io/providers/hashicorp/aws/latest/docs/resources/codedeploy_app) [AWS CLI2] (https://awscli.amazonaws.com/v2/documentation/api/latest/reference/deploy/create-application.html)

Error: Unsupported argument

All other conditions apply as the OP (same project).

Although these tags are shown as valid in the docs, you cannot enter them via the console. I was going to try adding tags to the resources in AWS and then importing them back into the TF state to see if the tags would come along.
