@jbardin jbardin commented Jan 5, 2023

NestingSingle blocks removed from from the config were causing a plan to error out with "... planned for existence but config wants absence". Terraform core was proposing an incorrect value in this case, taking the prior instead as a fallback because a null value was not expected.

Unlike other collection nesting modes, a NestingSingle block not present in the configuration is a null value, and should be allowed when planning a new value rather than building an empty object or falling back to the prior value.
