Have a look at this example: <https://github.com/pulumi/examples/blob/master/azure-ts-dynamicresource/cdnCustomDomain.ts>

still struggling to see how to populate the properties for future runs

how / when is e.g. the property on line 269 populated with the value from the state

It's assigned to outs in `create` <https://github.com/pulumi/examples/blob/master/azure-ts-dynamicresource/cdnCustomDomain.ts#L195>

e.g. if i add another resource later that depends on that property

yes but when is it populated back from state

can i spam a super simple example i'm not getting anywhere i think i must be missing something fundamental

<https://gist.github.com/oliverholliday/45bab094c85cc726d1754f0b3b3691bf>

so in my state file I can see the token was created properly and all the outputs are popualted

ah, I suspect you need to do one more thing: initialize those props in constructor, see <https://github.com/pulumi/examples/blob/master/azure-ts-static-website/staticWebsite.ts#L72>

I'm actually not sure why this is required. Might be worth filing an issue

I am actually just about to do some updates to these docs today - and will see about making this point clearer.

I've upgraded pulumi today - from .16 to .21 and then to .26 and then to .27

and on the .16 to .21 my partnerToken from that gist was reset and regenerated, and it was reset to undefined.undefined from .26 to .27

is this a bug in pulumi or is there a flaw in my dynamic resource?

<https://gist.github.com/oliverholliday/45bab094c85cc726d1754f0b3b3691bf> that was the gist

I'm not sure I follow exactly what you saw happen.  Was this resource replaced or updated in any of the deployments?  If so, what diffs were shown?

Could you open an issue with any details?

what i saw in the diffs was that the serialized "_provider" changed

and essentially its acted as if i recreated the resource but i didnt

but from .26 to .27 it's not recreated it and it's just blanked out the outputs

<https://github.com/pulumi/pulumi/issues/3002>

sorry the .16 to .21 was a mistake on my part - it seems we destroyed the entire stack, but the .26 to .27 is still an issue
