r/aws_quicksight_account_subscription(doc): add note on import limitations

[jar-b]

Description

Due to the limited fields returned by the DescribeAccountSettings API, an imported account subscription resource will always be immediately planned for replacement. This adds a note to the registry documentation describing this limitation.

Terraform will perform the following actions:

  # aws_quicksight_account_subscription.test must be replaced
-/+ resource "aws_quicksight_account_subscription" "test" {
      ~ account_subscription_status      = "ACCOUNT_CREATED" -> (known after apply)
      + authentication_method            = "IAM_AND_QUICKSIGHT" # forces replacement
      + aws_account_id                   = (known after apply)
      ~ id                               = "<redacted>" -> (known after apply)
        # (5 unchanged attributes hidden)
    }

Plan: 1 to add, 0 to change, 1 to destroy.

An ignore_changes lifecycle argument may be used to suppress the difference for any configured arguments missing in state. For example:

resource "aws_quicksight_account_subscription" "test" {
  account_name          = "terraform-acctest"
  authentication_method = "IAM_AND_QUICKSIGHT"
  edition               = "ENTERPRISE"
  notification_email    = "[email protected]"

  lifecycle {
    ignore_changes = [authentication_method]
  }
}
