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. |

Terraform Helper Lib: schema
The schema
package provides a high-level interface for writing resource
providers for Terraform.
If you're writing a resource provider, we recommend you use this package.
The interface exposed by this package is much friendlier than trying to write to the Terraform API directly. The core Terraform API is low-level and built for maximum flexibility and control, whereas this library is built as a framework around that to more easily write common providers.
