  }
}

Debug Output

Panic Output

Expected Behavior

Workspace is deployed with ALWAYS_ON running mode.

Actual Behavior

Workspace fails apply because running_mode_auto_stop_timeout_in_minutes is always computed, even when not configured.

An execution plan has been generated and is shown below.
Resource actions are indicated with the following symbols:
  + create

Terraform will perform the following actions:

  # aws_workspaces_workspace.workspace will be created
  + resource "aws_workspaces_workspace" "workspace" {
      + bundle_id                      = "wsb-bh8rsxt14"
      + computer_name                  = (known after apply)

I can replicate this bug.

Using the resource:

resource "aws_workspaces_workspace" "example_workspace" {
  directory_id = data.aws_workspaces_directory.example.id
  bundle_id    = data.aws_workspaces_bundle.bundle.id
  user_name    = var.username

  root_volume_encryption_enabled = true
  user_volume_encryption_enabled = true

  workspace_properties {
    compute_type_name                         = var.compute_type
    user_volume_size_gib                      = 50
    root_volume_size_gib                      = 80
    running_mode                              = "ALWAYS_ON"
  }
}

Results in the error
Error: workspace creation failed: RunningModeAutoStopTimeoutInMinutes is not applicable for WorkSpace with running mode set to ALWAYS_ON during apply after the plan decides to add running_mode_auto_stop_timeout_in_minutes to my resource in error.
