Not able to specify task definition in ECS service with external deployment

[tdekoning93]

Terraform Core Version

1.5.3

AWS Provider Version

5.8.0

Affected Resource(s)

aws_ecs_service

Expected Behavior

Possibility to supply a task definition or family to the service. This is mandatory from the console, so I wouldn't know why its not possible to run a task through Terraform. Maybe I'm doing something wrong here and just need the proper explanation, but I can't figure out how to run a task from Terraform using the aws_ecs_service resource.

Actual Behavior

TaskDefinition must be blank.

Relevant Error/Panic Output Snippet

It seems task definition was removed in this issue to make external work. I can probably deploy the service now, but how do I run a task?

desired_count = 1
propagate_tags = "TASK_DEFINITION"

deployment_controller {
type = "EXTERNAL"
}
}
