Overrides doesn't work for prevent_destroy

[pseonghoon]

Hi there,

Overrides doesn't work for prevent_destroy.

Terraform Version

0.10.6

Terraform Configuration Files

• a.tf

resource "aws_eip" "eip1" {
    vpc=true

    lifecycle {
      prevent_destroy=true
    }
}

• override.tf

resource "aws_eip" "eip1" {
    vpc=true

    lifecycle {
      prevent_destroy=false
    }
}

Expected Behavior

terraform destroy command can destroy eip1 because prevent_destroy is overridden to false.

Actual Behavior

destroying eip1 is prevented by Terraform

Steps to Reproduce

1. terraform init
2. terraform apply
3. terraform destroy

Hi @pseonghoon prevent_destroy blocks planning immediately, with no cli, override, or interpolation workaround, see #3874, #16392, #10730, #3116, #2253.

Hello! 🤖

This issue relates to an older version of Terraform that is no longer in active development, and because the area of Terraform it relates to has changed significantly since the issue was opened we suspect that the issue is either fixed or that the circumstances around it have changed enough that we'd need an updated issue report in order to reproduce and address it.

If you're still seeing this or a similar issue in the latest version of Terraform, please do feel free to open a new bug report! Please be sure to include all of the information requested in the template, even if it might seem redundant with the information already shared in this issue, because the internal details relating to this problem are likely to be different in the current version of Terraform.

Thanks!

This issue still applies to the very latest version of terraform. The problems with prevent_destroy blocking planning have never been addressed. Please reopen this issue. A new issue would just be a copy and paste of this one.
