For Terraform 0.12 we had intended to start supporting ignoring individual map keys such as individual tags in a tags map. Unfortunately some later changes to HCL's parser inadvertently broke that behavior, so at release referring to a map key in
ignore_changes
would lead to an error:The main fix here was in HCL itself, so this PR begins with a vendor update to include that fix, but then also includes a documentation update to explain how this works and the addition/removal caveat that applies to it, along with a test for this specific behavior to reduce the risk of this inadvertently regressing again in the future.
This closes #6632 and closes #21433.
