Update to restapi provider v3 to use ignore_server_additions

[jor2]

Summary

The current workaround for restapi provider issue #319 uses ignore_all_server_changes = true which has a limitation: out-of-band changes to CSPM configuration will not be detected by Terraform.

Current Behavior

With ignore_all_server_changes = true:

• Terraform ignores all differences between config and API response
• This includes both server-added fields AND server-modified fields
• If someone changes enable_cspm via the console/CLI/API, Terraform won't detect the drift

This means the CSPM configuration must be fully managed by Terraform - any out-of-band changes will be invisible.

Solution

The restapi provider v3.0.0-rc1 includes ignore_server_additions which provides a better solution:

Attribute	Ignores server-added fields	Detects out-of-band changes
ignore_all_server_changes = true (current)	Yes	No
ignore_server_additions = true (v3)	Yes	Yes

Action Required

Once restapi provider v3.0.0 is stable:

1. Update provider version constraint to >= 3.0.0
2. Replace ignore_all_server_changes = true with ignore_server_additions = true

resource "restapi_object" "cspm" {
  # ...
  
  # Replace this:
  # ignore_all_server_changes = true
  
  # With this:
  ignore_server_additions = true
}
