In terraform, is it possible to only add an optional resource argument if a particular variable is set

On my concrete example:



I want to create a rancher environment resource with preconfigured members. But the number of members is supposed to be depending on a variable list. I'd imaging something like



resource "rancher_environment" "renv" {
name = "renv"
project_template_id = "atmplid"

member {
count = "${length(var.memberlist)}"
external_id = "${var.memberlist[count.index]}"
external_id_type = "exttype"
role = "owner"
}
}


This obviously doesn't work. Is there a trick to achieve this behaviour?

          You can use null_resource for this. Try this



          resource "null_resource" "memberlist" {
          count = "${length(var.memberlist)}"
          triggers {
          external_id = "${var.memberlist[count.index]}"
          external_id_type = "exttype"
          role = "owner"
          }
          }

          resource "rancher_environment" "renv" {
          name = "renv"
          project_template_id = "atmplid"

          member = ["${null_resource.memberlist.*.triggers}"]
          }
