Feature request: Set default tags for the provider

[jsvensson]

Summary

Add provider settings to define one or more tags that get added by default to resources.

Use cases

Default tags would provide several useful use cases:

• Set a tag like "terraform-managed" to see that Terraform manages the 1Password object
• Set a tag to identify which service/repository etc the resource belongs to/is used by

Proposed solution

• Define optional default tags in the provider settings
• Default tags are merged together with any tags defined in the resource

Example format:

provider "onepassword" {
  default_tags {
    tags = ["foo", "bar"]
  }

Given a resource like this, the finalized set of tags for the resource would be ["foo", "bar", "baz"].

resource "onepassword_item" "example" {
  tags = ["baz"]
}

Is there a workaround to accomplish this today?

None I'm aware of.

Generally the workaround for this is something like

locals {
  op_default_tags = ["foo", "bar"]
}

resource "onepassword_item" "example" {
  tags = concat(local.op_default_tags, ["baz"])
}

So if you are managing multiple items, you need only define the tags in one place.
