Is it possible to remove a resource property in a terraform override configuration.

[Edgar Martinez]

I have a base configuration in terraform that has a property that I want to remove. In other words I have something that looks like this. 

resource "aws_instance" "web" {
    ami = "ami-408c7f28"
    tags = { Name = "hello World"}
}

I want to override it to this, without the tags property in my app_overrides.tf file 

resource "aws_instance" "web" {
    ami = "ami-408c7f28"
}

Is this possible because right now I can override a configuration but only to add properties not to remove properties on a resource.

I've never used overrides, but can you respecify `tags` ?, eg:

    resource "aws_instance" "web" {

      ami = "ami-408c7f28"

      tags {}

    }

Or are submaps merged?

They are merged. I am working with a legacy setup and I don't want to rewrite a bunch of things in order to change one little property.
