Hi, quick question. I'm dabbling with my first "Dynamic Resource" via nodejs/typescript. All is working well with the exception of using the "import" command for resources already present downstream. Is that meant to work? or am i going mad?
This is what i'm getting atm:
Copy code
pulumi import -v 3 "pulumi-nodejs:dynamic:Resource" "foo" "53817d0f-<SNIP>"
Previewing import (vml)

Gah finally found the "open issue" from 2021. https://github.com/pulumi/pulumi/issues/7534 - Shout out to @gifted-island-55702 for raising it and the workaround.

I had the same problem few weeks ago. The easiest ways for me was to implement create function/method in a way that reads existing resource and returns object with id and outs. Then 
pulumi up
did the rest. What matters is to get those dynamic resources in a state.

yep 🙂 working on that now. Thanks for replying too. Appreciate it.
