Terraform Version & Provider Version(s)

Terraform v1.7.4
on x86-64

• provider registry.terraform.io/hashicorp/google v6.0
• provider registry.terraform.io/hashicorp/google-beta v6.0

Affected Resource(s)

google_workstations_workstation

Terraform Configuration

Debug Output

No response

Expected Behavior

source_workstation should act like source image arguments, which cause a replacement on change, but when left unchanged don't cause any behavior.

Actual Behavior

source_workstation argument being present causes constant recreation of workstation resource, meaning that all uses of it must be followed by removing the attribute and re-applying. While lifecycle { ignore_changes = [ source_workstation] } on the module can be used as a workaround, that prevents re-creation when the attribute changes.

Steps to reproduce

1. terraform apply
