Ignoring a resource if it exists?

Now I did my fair share of googling - and people say it can't be done.

I have some SSM parameters that are only good when deployed first time (and they have to be deployed). Then, a step function changes them. It's a "date" value - it is created with default value initially, but then the lambda updates it. As you can guess, making any changes to my deployments REDEPLOYS parameters that shouldn't be touched anymore - returning them to default (because TF noticed a change). Any way to work around this issue?

Of course, lifecycle meta-arguments

  lifecycle {
    ignore_changes = [
     
    ]
  }

Specifically, in the case of aws_ssm_parameter

  lifecycle {
    ignore_changes = [value]
  }
