Description

API permits list resource listances, for example:

• ibmcloud resource service-instances --service-name dns-svcs --type service_instance
• ibmcloud resource service-instances --type resource_instance
• ibmcloud resource service-instances --all-pages

However, Terraform Data Source ibm_resource_instance enforces with error message: one of 'identifier,name' must be specified

Alternatively, there should be a plural equivilant ibm_resource_instances which will return a list for given Service Name or Service Type (i.e. service_instance, resource_instance, platform_service_instance, composite_instance, container-registry_instance) ; similar to functionality of various data source within the Terraform Provider, such as ibm_is_subnets (list all subnets within a region).
