You can use `pulumi.mergeOptions`:


```pulumi.mergeOptions(args.opts, { ignoreChanges: ["tags"] })```

<@UB3BGTV63> Nice. Thanks :slightly_smiling_face:

I thought there would be a native Typescript way, though. But neat to see that you already created an easy solution for this :+1:

if you want native solution and don't need a deep merge you can use `{ ...args.opts, ...{ ignoreChanges: ["tags"] }}`

That’s right - though intelligently deep merging these data structures is the reason `mergeOptions` exists - and can avoid subtle issues in code that just does direct object splatting. Definitely encourage using mergeOptions over hand-rolling this sort of thing.
