Terraform CLI and Terraform IBM Provider Version

1.53.0

Affected Resource(s)

• ibm_iam_service_api_key

Terraform Configuration Files

resource "ibm_iam_service_id" "service_id" {
  name        = "test-service-id"
  description = "some service id"
}

resource "ibm_iam_service_api_key" "api_key" {
  name           = "test-api-key"
  description = "some api key"
  iam_service_id = ibm_iam_service_id.service_id.iam_id
  store_value    = false
}

Expected Behavior

As per documentation, a key with an unretrievable apikey attribute should be created if store_value = false argument is specified.

Actual Behavior

While getting the argument value using GetOk method, a bool false value would be compared with the type zero-value, and being it the same it gets "mistaken" for an undefined bool, flagged as non-existent and returned to the caller.
As can be seen following the first link above, the obtained value is then never set on createAPIKeyOptions for ibm sdk client to use it on create api call. Since store_value defaults to true it's not currently possible to specify it as false.

Steps to Reproduce

1. terraform apply the provided terraform code;
2. read the apikey value from obtained details about the service api key - eg. using ibmcloud CLI as such:

ibmcloud iam api-key ApiKey-xyz --output json
