Creating a resource in the Auth0 UI, like email provider, causes errors when creating the resource with terraform afterwards. I wasn’t able to delete the resource completely after creating it in the UI, so I ran into a lot of terraform creation errors. It could not destroy nor replace. What are your thoughts on this?
