Hey @akocbek,

thanks for reporting the issue. We are aware and there is another issue that raised this problem a while back: https://github.com/IBM-Cloud/terraform-provider-ibm/issues/4719 I suggest you comment in there to add an additional data point for us and we can close this issue to keep everything in one spot. In case you have any other problem please feel free to raise it in this repo.

[akocbek]

Thank you @michael-magrian . Is there any ETA to fix that behavior?

[michael-magrian]

Can't really give you a feasible ETA, sorry. I will update the issue https://github.com/IBM-Cloud/terraform-provider-ibm/issues/4719 when I have more information, as soon as I have any.

Hi @akocbek, while we continue to work on a fix for this issue, we have updated the Code Engine documentation to include a troubleshooting page on working around this issue: https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/codeengine?topic=codeengine-ts-terraform-environment-variables

I hope this can be of some help until our fix is complete
