Hi, I have a small problem i have an imported resource and have set up a new pulumi project exported the resource settings and put it into the code. But pulumi still tries to delete the imported resource even if the attributes that cannot be changed are the same.

what's showing in the preview? A delete + a create?
The output will help diagnosing

i would not give the output because it contains data i dont want to show in a public environment

are the resource names the same in the output?

which resource?
It's worth doing a `pulumi refresh` to ensure the state is up to date against the service.

with `pulumi preview --diff` , it'll show the URNs, are they also the same?

otherwise it woukld not want to delete the resources right?

it would delete the resource if the URNs are different

you'd usually see a replace as apposed to a delete+create if they're the same.
I've generally always used the `import` resource option instead of `pulumi import` CLI as it gives a bit more flexibility and behaves better with Component Resources.

well thats the beauty of not beeing chat gpt i guess :smile:

oh haha, no worries. Glad you didn't end up deleting anything

yeah i was just to fast this is production infrastructure we did not set up with pulumi and i import it right now to work with it for customer on boarding
