Debug Output

Expected Behavior

Actual Behavior

  # module.smb_locations.aws_datasync_location_smb.smb["smb_sync"] must be replaced
-/+ resource "aws_datasync_location_smb" "smb" {
        agent_arns      = [
            "arn:aws:datasync:region:acc:agent/agent-04f7gg6tg6df446e74",
        ]
      ~ arn             = "arn:aws:datasync:region:acc:location/loc-022675ge70cfyyh8f2" -> (known after apply)
      + domain          = (known after apply)
      ~ id              = "arn:aws:datasync:region:acc:location/loc-022675ge70cfyyh8f2" -> (known after apply)
        password        = (sensitive value)
        server_hostname = "servername"
      ~ subdirectory    = "/dir/Applications/Tools/" -> "/dir/Applications/Tools/" # forces replacement
      - tags            = {} -> null
      ~ uri             = "smb://servername/dir$/Applications/Tools/" -> (known after apply)
        user            = "lin_user"

        mount_options {
            version = "AUTOMATIC"
        }
    }

It appears that the "subdirectory" is being replaced (with identical value) which causes the redo of the location and inturn redo of the task as well.

Steps to Reproduce

1. terraform apply
2. terraform plan
