Cannot access data-source using -target if not defined in root-module directory

Hi there,
Appreciate any help I can get to understand what’s going wrong here.
So, this is what I have - a child-module, called vpc and there I’m doing a TGW vpc_attachment:

child-module: modules/vpc/tgw.tf

##---- Transit Gateway VPC Attachments ---------####
resource "aws_ec2_transit_gateway_vpc_attachment" "default" {
  count              = length(var.s_zones)
  vpc_id             = element(aws_vpc.vpcs[*].id, count.index)
  subnet_ids         = data.aws_subnet_ids.tgw[count.index].ids
  transit_gateway_id = var.tgw_id
  transit_gateway_default_route_table_association = var.tgw_auto_association
  transit_gateway_default_route_table_propagation = var.tgw_auto_association
}

In the root-module directory, I have a data.tf to get the already running TransitGateway (done by a completely separate plan) id:

root-module: services/ENVS/data.tf

data "aws_ec2_transit_gateway" "tgwz" {
  filter {
    name   = "options.amazon-side-asn"
    values = ["4200064${substr(var.mgmt_ccenter,1,3)}"]
  }
  filter {
    name   = "state"
    values = ["available"]
  }
  filter {
    name ="tag:Name"
    values = ["${var.mgmt_project}site-tgw"]
  }
}

And that data is supplied as the tgw_id in the vpc root-module:

root-module: services/ENVS/vpc.tf

module "vpc" {
  source               = "../../modules/vpc"
  ......
  ......
  tgw_auto_association = var.tgw_auto_association
  tgw_id               = data.aws_ec2_transit_gateway.tgwz.id
}

If I do a targeted (e.g. -target=module.vpc) plan/apply , it fails with this:

Error: "transit_gateway_id": required field is not set

on ../../modules/vpc/tgw.tf line 2, in resource "aws_ec2_transit_gateway_vpc_attachment" "default":
3: resource "aws_ec2_transit_gateway_vpc_attachment" "default" {

Error: "transit_gateway_id": required field is not set

on ../../modules/vpc/tgw.tf line 2, in resource "aws_ec2_transit_gateway_vpc_attachment" "default":
3: resource "aws_ec2_transit_gateway_vpc_attachment" "default" {

But if run the full plan (i.e. without -target) along with rest of my other stuff, it works just fine. What am I missing here? Why it cannot find the value for the tgw_id when it’s run partially? Any help solving this would be really appreciated!

-S

Could any one explain why I’m seeing that pls?? Really appreciate any help or pointers.

I think this is due to terraform not reading the remote state correctly when using -target.

I am getting similar issues now.
