[0.68.0] tfe_workspace auto apply not working on latest providers

Terraform version

Terraform Configuration Files

resource "tfe_workspace" "default" {
  name              = "my-workspace-name"
  organization  = "my-organization"
  auto_apply    = true
}

Expected Behavior

Workspace should be created with auto apply setting to avoid confirming the deployment all the time.

Actual Behavior

Starting provider 0.68.0 (latest as of July 21st 2025) even though I'm setting auto_apply = true, the workspace's auto apply setting is not being configured (no error is being displayed, just the setting not being configured).

I Switched to the version 0.67.1 and it works fine, so it seems to be only on the latest provider.

@mirandavj Do you also have a tfe_workspace_settings resource associated with this workspace? If so, likely this has been fixed by #1787 and released in 0.68.1

Had the same issue, but for us it actually just ignored the setting we had, and forced it back to "False". And because we had our constraint ~>0.52 It auto applied and changed everything to false, and slipped our review process. I only found it out this morning, when I couldn't figure out why everything was wanting to change to "true". So wile the release notes do not call tihs out, if you read the change log, there was an issue in 0.68.0, but was quickly resolved with 0.68.1

Here was the original bug report.
