Panic Output

Error: the API returned an error: Api validation failed: updateAppUserSchemas.
Causes: errorSummary: You cannot add the attribute with the variable name '<REDACTED>' because the deletion process for an attribute with the same variable name is incomplete. Wait until the data clean up process finishes and then try again.

Expected Behavior

Updating a okta_app_user_schema_property resource and triggering a forceNew should apply successfully

Can this be done in the Admin UI?

The upstream eventual consistency is a problem in the Admin UI as well, it can also be triggered manually via the Okta Admin Dashboard

Can this be done in the actual API call?

The upstream eventual consistency is a problem in the Admin UI as well, It can also be triggered using the API

Actual Behavior

Eventual consistency in the upstream API means that re-creating the schema attribute with the same name will fail.

Steps to Reproduce

1. create a okta_app_user_schema_property
2. trigger a forceNew on the okta_app_user_schema_property by updating an attribute like scope
3. terraform apply

Important Factoids

Its not clear to me if this error occurs because:

• The async jobs are still in-progress
• The async Jobs are lazily evaluated and thus don't start until you trigger the error
• Okta doesn't mark the async Jobs as being complete properly
