How to skip a triggered build using terraform and digialocean_app

Similar builders implement a “skip_command” where you can determine if build should be skipped or not. There seems to be no support for similar functionality in a “digitalocean_app” in Terraform. Is it possible?

Hi there,

If I understand this correctly, I believe that there’s currently no built-in way to skip a build conditionally using digitalocean_app in Terraform.

You could suggest this as a feature request on the DigitalOcean Terraform registry repository here: https://github.com/digitalocean/terraform-provider-digitalocean.
