Describe the bug

I imported my existing panorama config for zones; those include both a template and template_stack values set. Defining the zones in terraform code to have a snapshot of the existing config (basically, importing, then adjusting terraform code until terraform plan shows no changes to be applied), leads to constraints impossible to satisfy:

Error: "template_stack": conflicts with template

  on zones.tf line 1, in resource "panos_panorama_zone" "Dev":
   1: resource "panos_panorama_zone" "Dev" {

Error: "template": conflicts with template_stack

  on zones.tf line 1, in resource "panos_panorama_zone" "Dev":
   1: resource "panos_panorama_zone" "Dev" {

Yet:

  # panos_panorama_zone.Dev must be replaced
-/+ resource "panos_panorama_zone" "Dev" {
      ~ id             = "mytmpl:mytmpl_stack:vsys1:Dev" -> (known after apply)
      ~ interfaces     = [] -> (known after apply)
        name           = "Dev"
      - template       = "Stack8-Edge" -> null # forces replacement
        # (6 unchanged attributes hidden)
    }

Expected behavior

It should be possible to define a zone based on its existing imported properties, such that 'terraform plan' is a no-op (as a basis for adding new panorama/panos config).

resource "panos_panorama_zone" "Dev" {
  name = "Dev"
  mode = "layer3"

  template = panos_panorama_template.mytmpl.name
  template_stack = panos_panorama_template_stack.mytmpl_stack.name

  include_acls   = []
  exclude_acls   = []
  enable_user_id = false
}

Current behavior

Terraform plan errors with a schema conflict, or produces a plan which involves potentially destructive changes.

Possible solution

Not making template and template_stack conflict.

Steps to reproduce

See above.

template/template_stack: can't both be enforced yet conflicting (Closes
f419744 
PaloAltoNetworks#294)

The template and template_stack objects are enforced when running
plan/apply against imported objects; otherwise the engine would
want to completely replace the objects, which would likely cause
consistency issues with the rest of the configuration.

Since they are both enforced; they can't also be conflicting; that
leads to an impossible scenario where you must but can't define
both a template and template_stack.

Sorry for the delay in looking at this.

So looking at your config, your terraform plan file is incorrect, so I believe the provider to be doing the correct thing here. A Panorama Zone will set either in a template or a template stack from an PAN-OS XPATH perspective. If I create a template, tem1 and then create a L3 ethernet interface ethernet1/2, then create a zone named foobar in vsys1, I am able to import this into Terraform.

Here's my plan file for the import:

resource "panos_panorama_zone" "x" {}

Here's me trying to import this resource into Terraform:

shell$ terraform import panos_panorama_zone.x 'tem1::vsys1:foobar'
panos_panorama_zone.x: Importing from ID "tem1::vsys1:foobar"...
panos_panorama_zone.x: Import prepared!
  Prepared panos_panorama_zone for import
panos_panorama_zone.x: Refreshing state... [id=tem1::vsys1:foobar]

Import successful!

The resources that were imported are shown above. These resources are now in
your Terraform state and will henceforth be managed by Terraform.

shell$ terraform show
# panos_panorama_zone.x:
resource "panos_panorama_zone" "x" {
    enable_user_id = false
    exclude_acls   = []
    id             = "tem1::vsys1:foobar"
    include_acls   = []
    interfaces     = [
        "ethernet1/2",
    ]
    mode           = "layer3"
    name           = "foobar"
    template       = "tem1"
    vsys           = "vsys1"
}
shell$

Just copy / pasting that into my plan file (and removing the id param, then terraform show shows a noop:

shell$ terraform plan
Refreshing Terraform state in-memory prior to plan...
The refreshed state will be used to calculate this plan, but will not be
persisted to local or remote state storage.

panos_panorama_zone.x: Refreshing state... [id=tem1::vsys1:foobar]

------------------------------------------------------------------------

No changes. Infrastructure is up-to-date.

This means that Terraform did not detect any differences between your
configuration and real physical resources that exist. As a result, no
actions need to be performed.
shell$

Based on what I see in your config, the correct config for you is possibly template=Stack8-Edge (panos_panorama_template.mytmpl.name) with an empty template stack.

The fact that the template Stack8-Edge is in the template stack Stack8-Edge_mig is irrelevant here. The GUI shows comprehensive config, which obscures where things are actually located, so your params need to reflect where the object is actually configured at.
