   "aws_waf_rule.rule3",
   "aws_waf_rule.rule2",
   "aws_waf_rule.rule4",
   "aws_waf_rule.Rule_rule5",

 name = "TFWaf_ACL"

 default_action {
   type = "ALLOW"
 }
 rules {
   action {
      type = "BLOCK"
   }
   priority = 2
   rule_id = "${aws_waf_rule.rule3.id}"
 }
 rules {
   action {
      type = "BLOCK"
   }
   priority = 3
   rule_id = "${aws_waf_rule.rule2.id}"
 }
 rules {
   action {
      type = "BLOCK"
   }
   priority = 4
   rule_id = "${aws_waf_rule.rule1.id}"
 }
 rules {
   action {
     type = "BLOCK"
   }
   priority = 5
   rule_id = "${aws_waf_rule.rule4.id}"
 }
   rules {
   action {
     type = "BLOCK"
   }
   priority = 6
   rule_id = "${aws_waf_rule.Rule_rule5.id}"
 }
 rules {
   action {
     type = "ALLOW"
   }
   priority = 8
   rule_id = "${aws_waf_rule.Rule_rule5.id}"
 }
   rules {
   action {
     type = "BLOCK"
   }
   priority = 7
   rule_id = "${aws_waf_rule.rule6.id}"
 }
}

Expected Behavior

Rule should update with new parameters.

Actual Behavior

New rule was created, keeping the original one.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Apply code above.
2. Change one of the rules from BLOCK to ALLOW or change the priority order.
3. Reapply.
4. TF destroy will remove all rules.
