I expected the github_issue_labels resource to allow me to specify the full list of issue labels I want, even if those issue labels overlap some of the default ones created in a new GitHub repo, or include other existing labels in the repo.
Actual Behavior
When using github_issue_labels with a set of labels that includes an existing label, the apply fails with an error like:
This makes it impossible to use this resource with a set of labels that includes any of the default labels for new repos. This would be fine if you could simply omit those labels, but if you do, the default labels will be removed on subsequent runs.
