Ability to ignore_changes for set.

[teu]

Description

In the use case is having databases (or any resource that you might not want to re-start the pod of) as helm_release you want to prevent pod restarts and yet change certain values.

Ability to ignore specific set blocks is essential.

Potential Terraform Configuration

resource "helm_release" "postgresql" {
  chart      = "postgresql"
  repository = "https://charts.bitnami.com/bitnami"


  name      = "default"
  namespace = "default"

# you want to set this once and maintain this after without having to re-start any pod
  set {
    name  = "primary.initdb.scripts"
    value = var.initdb_scripts
  }

lifecycle {
    ignore_changes = [set[name["primary.initdb.scripts].value].0]
  }
}
