Hello, any update on this?
It doesn't look like a big deal to merge the proposed MR 👍

For who is waiting for the feature be available, here is the AWS CLI to update the engine version. After the modification, Terraform will not override this setting since the API used doesn't refer to this property.

for wg in $(aws athena list-work-groups | jq -r '.WorkGroups[].Name')
do
	conf=$(aws athena get-work-group --work-group $wg | jq '.WorkGroup.Configuration | .EngineVersion.SelectedEngineVersion |= "Athena engine version 2" | .EngineVersion.EffectiveEngineVersion |= "Athena engine version 2" | .ResultConfigurationUpdates = .ResultConfiguration | del(.ResultConfiguration)')
	aws athena update-work-group --work-group $wg --configuration-updates $conf
done

AWS now announced that the Athena engine version 1 will be deprecated in the near future. Thus it would be great to have Terraform support there in advance so that we can at least manually update and verify everything before AWS migrates it automatically to V2.
We've got plenty of workgroups that we don't want to migrate manually and would prefer to use Terraform for this.

Athena engine version 1 will be deprecated in the near future. The exact deprecation date will be announced 90 days in advance in your AWS Personal Health Dashboard. To upgrade your workgroups now, use the Settings page, the Workgroups list page, or the Edit workgroup page of the Athena console. Workgroups not upgraded by the deprecation date will be upgraded to version 2 automatically.

(see the AWS Athena Query editor)

AWS automatically upgrades Athena engine version now, it has upgraded the engine version for the workgroup I've created with terraform, and after that tf apply is happy, it doesn't see any changes.
I'd say, this time, we bit the bullet.
