Is there a reason the value type needs to be

pulumi.Input<string>

? If this is for AWS Tags they tend to be

pulumi.Input<{[key: string]: string}>

Yes, this is a Pulumi data type so it needs to be that. I didn't define it. Anyway I asked how I can append to the tags value. You said to manipulate a normal {key: string}: string}. How do I go about appending to that?

Can you point to reference that is expecting a type of

pulumi.Input<{[key: string]: pulumi.Input<string>}>

? I want to be certain that is necessary because that is especially painful to work with. If that is 100% the correct type - then just declare it externally as

{[key: string]: pulumi.Input<string>}

and do everything you need to do like that before passing it in.

I did some playing around and you are correct, I can substitute {[key: string]: string}. How can I append to that?

tags["key3"] = "val3"

or if it is allowed

tags.key3 = "val3"

well that was easy. I don't work with TS very often and most languages I know won't do dynamic appending. Awesome tho. Thank you very much for the help

no problem, good luck
