Terraform Configuration Files

Please include all Terraform configurations required to reproduce the bug. Bug reports without a functional reproduction may be closed without investigation.

resource "ibm_satellite_endpoint" "manager_link" {
  location        = ibm_satellite_location.sat-location.id
  connection_type = "location"
  display_name    = "manager-link"
  server_host     = ibm_satellite_cluster.sat-cluster.ingress_hostname
  server_port     = 30060
  client_protocol = "https"
  server_protocol = "tls"
}

Expected Behavior

Terraform can read the resource so we can run a plan.

Actual Behavior

Any action which reads the satellite link resource fails with:

│ Error: [ERROR] Error setting performance: Invalid address to set: []string{"performance", "0", "connectors", "0", "txBW"}

Steps to Reproduce

1. Create a satellite endpoint.
2. Run terraform plan and it might fail.

Important Factoids

The issue here is when the endpolnt has performance data, specifically connectors. The provider tries to set RxBW and TxBW attributes but I don't see those in the raw response from the API. For our failing endpoint the API returns:

    "Result": {
        "conn_type": "location",
        "display_name": "manager-link",

        <A bunch of other attributes>

        "performance": {
            "connection": 15,
            "rx_bandwidth": 32,
            "tx_bandwidth": 15,
            "bandwidth": 47,
            "connectors": [
                {
                    "connector": "satellite-link-connector-xrp9g",
                    "connections": 6
                },
                {
                    "connector": "satellite-link-connector-rxbv6",
                    "connections": 6
                },
                {
                    "connector": "satellite-link-connector-jcqgh",
                    "connections": 3
                }
            ]
        }
    },

The connectors only have two attributes but it looks like the provider is trying to update the object in Terraform state with 4 attributes (two of which end up as nil) which causes the error shown above.
