Description

Is it possible to ignore all attributes on a resource using cdktf? I tried to pass in ["all"] and it doesn’t work. Is there a workaround without defining every attribute in the list?

Is all a keyword which works in other contexts as well?

None that I know of – I’ve also checked the other properties of lifecycle and none share that all.

Hi @aaronfeng

Currently the type only allows specifying an array. But you can use an override to set "all":

yourResource.addOverride("lifecycle.ignore_changes", "all");

We should support all however, so let’s keep this issue open to track this improvement 👍
