Do the two resources have different names? If they have the same name, this should be a replace. If they have different names, there is no way to know the relationship between them unless you indicate they are related. You can use

aliases

to indicate that one of the resources (the one you are creating) was previously known by a different name. This will cause it to be replaced (and change name in the process). If that doesn’t help - would likely need more concrete details of your use case.

Ah okay! I see my problem… it changes the name and thus it’s a different resource, so not a problem in Pulumi but a problem I need to solve 😇
