Changing pages source has no effect

Confirmation

• My issue isn't already found on the issue tracker.
• I have replicated my issue using the latest version of the provider and it is still present.

Terraform and Cloudflare provider version

Terraform v1.5.6
on linux_amd64

• provider registry.terraform.io/cloudflare/cloudflare v4.13.0

Affected resource(s)

cloudflare_pages_project

Terraform configuration files

# Direct upload Pages project
resource "cloudflare_pages_project" "this" {
  account_id        = local.acct_id
  name              = local.app_ident
  production_branch = local.prod_branch
  build_config {
    destination_dir = "html"
  }
  source {
    type = "github"
    config {
      owner             = "level12"
      repo_name         = "juke-demo-static"
      production_branch = local.prod_branch
      # "*" is the API default, but the CF provider doesn't set it,
      # `plan` constantly shows a change is needed if not explicit.
      preview_branch_includes = ["*"]
    }
  }

Panic output

No response

Expected output

When the plan shows that the github repo_name should be changed, and I run apply, I expect the repo_name to be updated in Cloudflare. Subsequently, if I run plan again, I expect to see no changes.

Actual output

When the plan shows that the github repo_name should be changed, and I run apply, the repo_name value in Cloudflare is not updated. A subsequent plan shows the same change needing to be applied again.

Steps to reproduce

1. Use a TF config similar to what I provided above.
2. apply changes
3. Change the github repo_name
4. apply changes
5. Run plan

Additional factoids

The root problem IMO is that the API accepts these values and ignores them. A consequence of only PATCH being available for a pages project and not PUT?

Best bet would be to figure out what values the CF API will actually set on a project and, if anything else needs modification in the plan, indicate the resource will need to be destroyed and re-created.
