Hi, Why if I set

parent=parent_id

to a resource Pulumi wants to delete this resource? Is that expected behaviour?

@rough-oyster-77458 because you're changing the URN. you can use to point to the old resource urn and stop the deletion behaviour:

thanks a lot. After your advice, I fixed the issue by adding

aliases=['old-urn']

. It would be great to add this to

parent

ResourceOptions documentation page. Because this behaviour looks pretty confusing for a new user.

It is there. 3rd last paragraph:

aliases: Aliases applied to a parent are applied to all child resources, so that changing the type of a parent resource correctly changes the qualified type of a child resource, and changing the name of a parent resource correctly changes the name prefix of child resources.
