Firewall Policy - PolicyID keeps forcing replacement

[aarjbdea]

When configuring a new firewall policy with policyid not set it will attempt to set the policyid to null on each terraform apply run and then will force a replacement of the firewall policy. From previous issues this shouldnt happen (https://github.com/fortinetdev/terraform-provider-fortios/issues/160) as the policyid is stored within the terraform state file. Any ideas?

This is one of the lines that appears in the terraform plan

• policyid = 11 -> null # forces replacement

We are having this issue too - every apply job all policies get recreated

Ive done some testing today and it would appear that v1.15.0 has broken this - v1.14.1 is working correctly and is not recreating the firewall policies

Hi, @aarjbdea @gmintoco
Apply this config on the firewall policy resource:

lifecycle {
    ignore_changes = [policyid]
  }

It work for me.
