Hi @rohrerb Thanks for this issue!
Actually the field you are intending to add should be name of the policy definition.
I am currently working on this. Should be able to open a PR fixing this.
Or are you meaning the full ID, like /subscription/{subsID}/providers/Microsoft.Authorization/policyDefinitions/def1? I suppose when you have the ID and want to get some information from the resource, you should use import rather than a data source.

This has been released in version 2.6.0 of the provider. Please see the Terraform documentation on provider versioning or reach out if you need any assistance upgrading. As an example:

provider "azurerm" {
    version = "~> 2.6.0"
}
# ... other configuration ...
