            }

            tags {

            }
        }

      - timeouts {}
    }

Plan: 1 to import, 0 to add, 1 to change, 0 to destroy.

Here is the output

oci_stack_monitoring_discovery_job.the_discovery_job: Importing... [id=REDACTED]
oci_stack_monitoring_discovery_job.the_discovery_job: Import complete [id=REDACTED]
oci_stack_monitoring_discovery_job.the_discovery_job: Modifying... [id=REDACTED]
╵
╷
│ Error: doesn't support update

When I try apply again I see this:

  # oci_stack_monitoring_discovery_job.the_discovery_job will be updated in-place
  ~ resource "oci_stack_monitoring_discovery_job" "the_discovery_job" {
        id               = "REDACTED"
      + system_tags      = (known after apply)
        # (10 unchanged attributes hidden)

        # (1 unchanged block hidden)
    }

Plan: 0 to add, 1 to change, 0 to destroy.

Note that system_tags (noted above that is triggering the change) is an output attribute not input. Regardless, I added

  lifecycle {
    ignore_changes = [
      system_tags
    ]
  }

…and tried again with the same error/result ("doesn't support update").

Debug Output

Panic Output

Expected Behavior

I expected imported oci_stack_monitoring_discovery_job resources to proper tolerate ongoing apply actions without error and ignore/avoid non-updatable attributes when assessing the need for change. Also, I expected lifecycle ignore_changes to properly override any attribute that is detected as requiring change so as to avoid conflicts when applying to a resource that does not support an update.

Actual Behavior

An imported oci_stack_monitoring_discovery_job resource attempts to update system_tags—which is not an input parameter—when applying the configuration. Even with lifecycle ignore_changes including this attribute name, the apply operation still attempts to affect a change on the resource. Consequently I am unable to proceed without manually removing this resource from my state. Argh!

Steps to Reproduce

terraform apply and all that—see above for details
