2 years ago Further clarification. The problem does not occur if the underlying object is referential.
This works:
type HexaPolicyType struct {
Id types.String `tfsdk:"id"`
Meta MetaType `tfsdk:"meta"`
Subject SubjectType `tfsdk:"subject"`
Actions []ActionType `tfsdk:"actions"`
Object *ObjectType `tfsdk:"object"`
Scopes []ScopeType `tfsdk:"scopes"`
Condition *ConditionType `tfsdk:"condition"`
}This will fail (when an attribute (e.g. "object") is optional:
type HexaPolicyType struct {
Id types.String `tfsdk:"id"`
Meta MetaType `tfsdk:"meta"`
Subject SubjectType `tfsdk:"subject"`
Actions []ActionType `tfsdk:"actions"`
Object ObjectType `tfsdk:"object"`
Scopes []ScopeType `tfsdk:"scopes"`
Condition ConditionType `tfsdk:"condition"`
}I suppose this makes sense, but would be nice to have a better error. :)

This was a test configuration. If the "meta = {...}" lines are omitted the provider will throw unhandled null value error below.
Debug Output
Expected Behavior
The documentation indicates that if the parent object is optional then the whole thing may be omitted regardless of whether a child attribute is required. If the parent attribute is provided than optionality is enforced.
In this test, all attributes including the parent and child attributes are optional (Optional: true). Therefore missing optional objects should be accepted (e.g. no "meta={}".
Actual Behavior
Test fails when "meta ..." is omitted even though it is optional.
Steps to Reproduce
Create an attribute with type tfsdk.ListNestedAttributes and then a sub-attribute of type tfsdk.SingleNestedAttributes. Make both the parent and sub-attributes all Optional: true and the error will occur.
Additional Context
Just a simple test of the plugin framework template.
