Terraform CLI and Terraform IBM Provider Version

Affected Resource(s)

• ibm_cr_namespace

Terraform Configuration Files

Please include all Terraform configurations required to reproduce the bug. Bug reports without a functional reproduction may be closed without investigation.

resource "ibm_cr_namespace" "cr_namespace" {
  name              = var.cr_namespace
  resource_group_id = data.ibm_resource_group.rg.id
}

Expected Behavior

There should be a way to set what region the container registry namespace gets created in. It defaults to global. You can put the CR in a resource group, but resource groups have are not region specific.

Actual Behavior

Since there are no options for region, it creates the namespace in the global region.

Just a guess, but perhaps is uses the region passed into the provider block?

provider "ibm" {
  ibmcloud_api_key = var.ibmcloud_api_key
  region           = var.region
}

the terraform config i'm using is located here: https://github.com/IBM/document-extraction-toolkit/blob/main/terraform/cr.tf

in main.tf, the provider was actually set to us-east (in my schematics workspace variable).
