records with spaces are modified every run about terraform-provider-dme HOT 4 CLOSED

Hi, I saw this as well, but I do not believe the issue is spaces. The text records in the DNS Made Easy interface have leading and trailing quotes in the value.

I believe that when a text record value without these "embedded" quotes is saved on DNS Made Easy, it accepts the change but adds the quotes into the value.

If you add escaped quotes at the beginning and end of your terraform value, DNS records will not attempt to be modified each run (and they still create correctly, too).

resource "dme_record" "stitthappens_com_TXT_spf" {
  [...]
  value       = "\"v=spf1 include:_spf.google.com ~all\""

That said, perhaps the terraform provider could be smart enough to handle this transform when needed (including when reading from DME), or, documentation could be updated to clarify this.

Having exactly the same issue with TXT, A and MX records.

I also had a related problem with mixed case record values, which is common in TXT records (DKIM) but really a general problem, so maybe it should be its own ticket. In any case the provider is downcasing everything, which isn't necessary; mixed case for values should be supported out to the registrar.

Closing this issue, as provider has been redeveloped and released.
