Description
# Problem
When creating multiple resources within a `count` or `for_each` loop, you end up with multiple resources using the same label as seen in the `terraform graph` output. The `ConvertState` function within `providers/terraform/resources.go` sees references to these resources as a problem since they share the same label and fails to let you use them.
# Use Case
Below is a simple example which creates 5 random passwords and attempts to make `coder_metadata` resources for them. While this instance uses `coder_metadata`, a similar result also occurs with many of the other `coder_*` resource types.
```
terraform {
required_providers {
coder = { source = "coder/coder" }
random = { source = "hashicorp/random" }
}
}
resource "random_password" "passwords" {
count = 5
length = 20
}
resource "coder_metadata" "meta_passwords" {
count = length(random_password.passwords)
resource_id = random_password.passwords[count.index].id
}
```
# What I Want
5 `coder_metadata` resources, one for each of the generated `random_password` resources.
# What I Get
```
Error during the build
template import provision for start: duplicate metadata resource: random_password.passwords
```
