@DevopsMercenary Thank you for taking the time to open this feature request!

The current terraform setting soft_delete_enabled = true seems to have a strange effect when the Vault is already set to true and Always Enabled in the Azure Portal (the output implies that terraform maps anything other than true to false?).

This would be another reason to support this flag, like the immutability vault option (already implemented).

Our config/setting:

 resource "azurerm_recovery_services_vault" "REDACTED" {
    name                = "REDACTED"
    location            = var.location
    resource_group_name = var.resource_group
    sku                 = "Standard"
    soft_delete_enabled = true  

Terraform output:

$ terraform version
Terraform v1.8.4
on linux_amd64
+ provider registry.terraform.io/hashicorp/azurerm v3.105.0
...
# module.REDACTED.azurerm_recovery_services_vault.REDACTED will be updated in-place
  ~ resource "azurerm_recovery_services_vault" "REDACTED" {
        id                                 = "/subscriptions/REDACTED"
        name                               = "REDACTED"
      ~ soft_delete_enabled                = false -> true
        tags                               = {}
        # (8 unchanged attributes hidden)
    }
...

This would be really helpful! When I use "soft_delete_enabled = true", it sets the "Enable soft delete and security settings for hybrid workloads" setting, but it doesn't set "Enable soft delete for cloud workloads" or "Enable Always-on soft delete" (where the former is a pre-requisite for the latter), so it would be great if all of those could be exposed via Terraform.
