Terraform Google provider default_labels issue

Terraform HCP Terraform

Hi,

I am trying to manage the labels consistency using default_labels for google provider. But how can I use a default_labels value inside resource block to create a resource from the tag value.
eg. in my providers.tf I have mentioned like this:

provider "google" {
  project = "my-project"
  region  = "us-central1"

  default_labels = {
    managed_by             = "Terraform"
    app-env                     = "dev"
    workspace-name     = var.TFC_WORKSPACE_NAME
  }
}

Now Suppose I have some user defined labels in my locals.tf.

user_labels = {
   app_name = "google_pubsub_topic"
}

How can I merge them in my pubsub resource.

resource "google_pubsub_topic" "topic" {
  name = "my_pubsub_topic"
  labels                     =  merge(provider.default_labels, local.user_labels) # is this possible?
...
}

Also how can I validate if the some lifecycle precondition or postconditions that the value provided in default_labels inside provider declaration is valid or not. How to reference the value ?
