# (1 unchanged element hidden)
]
id = "xxx.privatelink.blob.core.windows.net."
name = "xxx"

Are you using any outputs from the module? I have noticed that I am hitting the same error when I try to add the outputs to the state but when I remove my outputs from this provider the error goes away.

Also if possible can you please share your apply using export TF_LOG=DEBUG

We can actually close this I think. It was my mistake because our system is multi-region with the same fqdn in each separate region so it was trying to create multiple records for the same fqdn. I’ve updated my terraform to ignore our secondary region.
