We're aware of several quirks of this command's current design, which
result from some existing architectural limitations that we can't address
immediately.
However, we do still want to make this command available in its current
capacity as an incremental improvement, so as a compromise we'll document
it as experimental. Our intent here is to exclude it from the
Terraform 1.0 Compatibility Promises so that we can have the space to
continue to improve the design as other parts of the overall Terraform
system gain new capabilities.
We don't currently have any concrete plan for this command to be
stabilized and subject to compatibility promises. That decision will
follow from ongoing discussions with other teams whose systems may need to
change in order to support the final design of "terraform add".
* command: new command, terraform add, generates resource templates
terraform add ADDRESS generates a resource configuration template with all required (and optionally optional) attributes set to null. This can optionally also pre-populate nonsesitive attributes with values from an existing resource of the same type in state (sensitive vals will be populated with null and a comment indicating sensitivity)
