The SDK has a mechanism that effectively makes it possible to declare an attribute as being _conditionally_ required, which is not a concept that Terraform Core is aware of. Since this mechanism is in practice only used for a small UX improvement in prompting for these values interactively when the environment variable is not set, we avoid here introducing all of this complexity into the plugin protocol by just having the provider selectively modify its schema if it detects that such an attribute might be set dynamically. This then prevents Terraform Core from validating the presence of the argument or prompting for a new value for it, allowing the null value to pass through into the provider so that the default value can be generated again dynamically. This is a kinda-kludgey solution which we're accepting here because the alternative would be a much-more-complex two-pass decode operation within Core itself, and that doesn't seem worth it. This fixes #19139. |

Helper Libraries
This folder contains helper libraries for Terraform plugins. A running joke is that this is "Terraform standard library" for plugins. The goal of the packages in this directory are to provide high-level helpers to make it easier to implement the various aspects of writing a plugin for Terraform.
