Hello,
I have an existing terraform module. I need to add a new attribute to that module and make it required only for the modules that will be created after that change. So, i want this attribute to remain optional for already existing modules (previously created before that change) and required for modules that will be created after the change.
exemple :
before the change :
module “existing_module” {
source = “…/modules/x”
}
after the change (add a required attribute) :
module “existing_module” {
source = “…/modules/x”
}
==> error on the existing module as the argument is required. The argument “some_attribute” is required, but no definition was found.
module “new_module_after_change” {
source = “…/modules/x”
some_attribute = “value”
}
==> OK as the attribute is defined.
Is there a way to achieve that without need to remediate the existing modules by adding the new attribute and force it for all the new modules that will be created ?
