Trigger run in Terraform cloud when variable values are updated

[simonklb]

Hi!

Is it possible to automatically trigger a run on a workspace when a variable value has been updated in Terraform Cloud?

I’m trying to use the tfe provider to automate a number of workspaces in Terraform Cloud. Automatically trigger runs from VCS changes works fine but this is only going to trigger a run on the tfe module, not the workspaces that has been updated by it.

Hello

Did you find any solution to that question ?

I have now the same dilemma …

I mean…we want to have the variables in version control right ? If I someone need to manually go in the UI and change variables - this can not be tracked (like in VCS)

And if I have to update the variables via TF with one commit and the actual run of the TF with another commit - does not make much sense to me…
