Terraform Version

0.12.31 (but will happen on all versions)
3.90.1 GCP Provider version (although most likely in all)

Affected Resource(s)

google_essential_contacts_contact (https://registry.terraform.io/providers/hashicorp/google/latest/docs/resources/essential_contacts_contact)

Terraform Configuration Files

data "google_project" "project" {
}

resource "google_essential_contacts_contact" "contact" {
  parent = data.google_project.project.id
  email = "[email protected]"
  language_tag = "en-GB"
  notification_category_subscriptions = ["ALL"]
}

Expected Behavior

import should show no diff on correct terraform resource definition

Actual Behavior

Import does not include required field parent, thus causing a force replacement during subsequent plan.

google_essential_contacts_contact.contact["[email protected]"] must be replaced
-/+ resource "google_essential_contacts_contact" "contact" {
        email                               = "[email protected]"
      ~ id                                  = "organizations/12345678910/contacts/4" -> (known after apply)
        language_tag                        = "en-US"
      ~ name                                = "organizations/12345678910/contacts/4" -> (known after apply)
      ~ notification_category_subscriptions = [
            "LEGAL",
        ]
      + parent                              = "organizations/12345678910" # forces replacement

      - timeouts {}
    }

Steps to Reproduce

Import an existing essential contact, see that parent attribute does not get important but is required causing a force replacement on subsequent plan/apply

Important Factoids

parent attribute is required and will always cause a force replacement after all imports. This is not ideal.
