The SDKv2 external client computes the instance diff with the provider's CustomizeDiff and applies that same diff on Update. When CustomizeDiff marks a computed attribute unknown (ResourceDiff.SetNewComputed), d.Get returns the zero value for it during Update. Terraform does not apply that diff: ApplyResourceChange recomputes it with DiffFromValues(..., stripResourceModifiers(res)), which has no CustomizeDiff, and the recomputed diff has no entry for a top-level scalar marked unknown, so the attribute keeps its prior value.
This breaks aws_ssm_document. Its CustomizeDiff marks default_version unknown whenever content changes, and its Update sends d.Get("default_version") as the DocumentVersion. Under upjet that value is empty, so every content change is rejected by AWS and the managed resource retries forever:
operation error SSM: UpdateDocument, https response error StatusCode: 400, api error
ValidationException: 1 validation error detected: Value at 'documentVersion' failed to satisfy
constraint: Member must satisfy regular expression pattern: ([$]LATEST|[$]DEFAULT|[$]APPROVED|[$]PENDING_REVIEW|^[1-9][0-9]*$)
Terraform's own acceptance test for this resource, TestAccSSMDocument_update, changes content and expects the new version; I read it but did not run it. The provider's debug log shows the diff upjet applies, with default_version, document_version, hash and latest_version all NewComputed. The code is the same in provider-upjet-aws v2.5.0 to v2.9.0 and on crossplane/upjetmain.
This PR applies a copy of the diff without the top-level scalar attributes marked unknown:
Scalars: dropped, so Update sees the prior value, as under Terraform.
Lists, sets and maps: unchanged. Terraform's recomputed diff keeps their unknown count (name.# or name.%), so Update sees them empty there too, and the diff upjet computes is already identical to it. The test checks this.
Nested attributes: not affected, because SetNewComputed only accepts top-level keys.
The observed diff (n.instanceDiff) is not modified, so the update loop prevention and the ForceNew check still read the original. Create and Delete are unchanged, and the async client goes through the same Update.

#793 fixes a different symptom of the same premise: Terraform core plans a prior value, but the SDKv2 client applies the raw InstanceDiff. It filters empty computed count diffs when the diff is computed. This PR changes only what is applied on update, and touches different code. I'm happy to adjust if you'd rather have a single approach.
Run make reviewable to ensure this PR is ready for review. I couldn't initialise the build submodule here, so I ran golangci-lint v2.13.2 (the version the Makefile pins) with the repo's .golangci.yml, go vet, and go test ./pkg/... instead.
Added backport release-x.y labels to auto-backport this PR if necessary.
How has this code been tested
TestTerraformPluginSDKUpdateCustomizeDiffNewComputed is table-driven over a computed scalar, list and map. The resource's CustomizeDiff calls SetNewComputed when content changes, and its Update records what d.Get returns. For each case it runs:
Terraform's own path: schema.DiffFromValues with CustomizeDiff removed, then Resource.Apply. This is the reference, and it fixes the expected value.
terraformPluginSDKExternal.Update with the diff computed the way getResourceDataDiff computes it, and checks that Update sees the same value and that the observed diff is not modified.
Results:
Case
Terraform reference
upjet before
upjet after
Scalar
prior value
empty (fails)
prior value
List
empty
empty
empty
Map
empty
empty
empty
I also checked that the list case fails if the rule is widened to drop every unknown entry, so it guards against that.
go test ./pkg/..., go vet ./pkg/... and golangci-lint (no new issues) pass.
Not done: an end-to-end run inside a provider build.
…Diff marked unknown
The SDKv2 external client computes the instance diff with the provider's
CustomizeDiff and passes that same diff to Resource.Apply on Update.
CustomizeDiff can mark a computed attribute as unknown (SetNewComputed,
which only accepts top-level attributes), and d.Get then returns the zero
value for it during Update.
Terraform plans with CustomizeDiff but applies a diff recomputed without
it (ApplyResourceChange calls DiffFromValues with stripResourceModifiers).
In that diff a top-level scalar marked unknown has no entry, so it keeps
its prior value in Update. aws_ssm_document relies on this: its
CustomizeDiff marks default_version unknown on a content change, and
Update sends d.Get("default_version") as the DocumentVersion. Under upjet
that is empty, so every content update fails with a ValidationException.
Apply a copy of the diff without the top-level scalar attributes marked
unknown. Lists, sets and maps are not changed: Terraform's recomputed
diff keeps their unknown count as well, and the diff upjet computes is
already identical to it for them. The observed diff is left unchanged for
the update loop prevention and ForceNew checks, and Create and Delete are
unchanged.
The test compares what Update sees with Terraform's own apply path for a
scalar, a list and a map.

Update now passes Terraform Apply a copied diff without top-level attributes marked NewComputed. A regression test checks the resulting string, list, and map values and verifies that the observed diff remains unchanged.

Summary
Filter computed attributes before apply pkg/controller/external_tfpluginsdk.go, pkg/controller/external_tfpluginsdk_test.go
updateApplyDiff copies the diff and omits top-level attributes marked NewComputed. Update passes the filtered copy to Terraform Apply. The regression test checks computed string, list, and map values and confirms the original diff's attribute count is unchanged.
The update fix has bounded compatibility gaps for optional-computed scalars using state transformations or dynamic defaults. Providers with those schemas may receive different values than Terraform supplies; address these cases or explicitly accept the limitations before merging.

Explanation
The title is under 72 characters requirement? It is 88 characters, which exceeds the configured limit of under 72 characters. The title does describe the main change accurately: it applies updates without top-level attributes that CustomizeDiff marked unknown, matching the added updateApplyDiff filter in Update. Because the title fails the configured length requirement, the check cannot pass as written.

Explanation
The change significantly alters SDKv2 generated controller updates. pkg/controller/external_tfpluginsdk.go:865-893 removes top-level NewComputed entries before applying the diff. Generated controllers use this shared connector, including for asynchronous updates. The new test uses a synthetic resource; the PR reports no end-to-end provider build test.

Account for NewExtra when filtering computed scalars.
If an optional-computed string has a StateFunc, Terraform can restore an empty NewExtra during apply. Dropping the diff instead makes d.Get return the prior value, so the provider can send a different value. Could we preserve Terraform’s apply behavior here? Thanks!

Description of your changes
The SDKv2 external client computes the instance diff with the provider's
CustomizeDiffand applies that same diff onUpdate. WhenCustomizeDiffmarks a computed attribute unknown (ResourceDiff.SetNewComputed),d.Getreturns the zero value for it duringUpdate. Terraform does not apply that diff:ApplyResourceChangerecomputes it withDiffFromValues(..., stripResourceModifiers(res)), which has noCustomizeDiff, and the recomputed diff has no entry for a top-level scalar marked unknown, so the attribute keeps its prior value.This breaks
aws_ssm_document. ItsCustomizeDiffmarksdefault_versionunknown whenevercontentchanges, and itsUpdatesendsd.Get("default_version")as theDocumentVersion. Under upjet that value is empty, so every content change is rejected by AWS and the managed resource retries forever:Terraform's own acceptance test for this resource,
TestAccSSMDocument_update, changescontentand expects the new version; I read it but did not run it. The provider's debug log shows the diff upjet applies, withdefault_version,document_version,hashandlatest_versionallNewComputed. The code is the same in provider-upjet-aws v2.5.0 to v2.9.0 and oncrossplane/upjetmain.This PR applies a copy of the diff without the top-level scalar attributes marked unknown:

The test checks this.SetNewComputedonly accepts top-level keys.n.instanceDiff) is not modified, so the update loop prevention and the ForceNew check still read the original.CreateandDeleteare unchanged, and the async client goes through the sameUpdate.Related
#793 fixes a different symptom of the same premise: Terraform core plans a prior value, but the SDKv2 client applies the raw
InstanceDiff. It filters empty computed count diffs when the diff is computed. This PR changes only what is applied on update, and touches different code. I'm happy to adjust if you'd rather have a single approach.I have:

I couldn't initialise thebuildsubmodule here, so I rangolangci-lintv2.13.2 (the version the Makefile pins) with the repo's.golangci.yml,go vet, andgo test ./pkg/...instead.backport release-x.ylabels to auto-backport this PR if necessary.How has this code been tested
TestTerraformPluginSDKUpdateCustomizeDiffNewComputedis table-driven over a computed scalar, list and map. The resource'sCustomizeDiffcallsSetNewComputedwhencontentchanges, and itsUpdaterecords whatd.Getreturns. For each case it runs:schema.DiffFromValueswithCustomizeDiffremoved, thenResource.Apply. This is the reference, and it fixes the expected value.terraformPluginSDKExternal.Updatewith the diff computed the waygetResourceDataDiffcomputes it, and checks thatUpdatesees the same value and that the observed diff is not modified.Results:
I also checked that the list case fails if the rule is widened to drop every unknown entry, so it guards against that.
