I'm not sure if this can be fixed in this provider or whether it's a general terraform issue but I thought I'd start here. I found these similar issues:

hashicorp/terraform#6005 which has a link to https://github.com/mitchellh/mapstructure/blob/d2dd0262208475919e1a362f675cfc0e7c10e905/mapstructure.go#L61 that seems suspicious

hashicorp/terraform#10826

So far, the best description I've found for this problem is over here: hashicorp/terraform#13512 , though I don't know if this is exactly the same thing.

hi @bpoland

Thanks for opening this issue - apologies for the delayed response here!

As @jkrukoff-cb has mentioned this is a bug in Terraform Core (specifically it's an HCL bug) - which is being tracked in hashicorp/terraform#13512 - rather than tracking this issue in multiple repositories I'm going to close this issue in favour of that one; would you mind subscribing to that one for updates?

Thanks!

Thanks, yes that does look like the same thing. I will follow that one.
