Converting external data cron time to terraform file names

Hello,
As part of my project, I have an external data source I am calling which returns a JSON object with a CRON time format like this ‘* * * * * *’. However, there interpreted value I am seeing from my terraform plan looks more like this * elastic_beanstalk main.tf paln provider.tf tf_remote_state.tf elastic_beanstalk main.tf paln provider.tf tf_remote_state.tf elastic_beanstalk main.tf paln provider.tf tf_remote_state.tf elastic_beanstalk main.tf paln provider.tf tf_remote_state.tf *. It seems as though some of those asterisks are being picked interpolated to files in my current path. Though I am not completely sure where or when this data conversion is happening.

Is there a workaround to stop asterisks from being converted like this?

Not sure if this is entirely helpful, by I did a log trace and found a byte array along with the log for the line [TRACE] JSON output: . I copied the bytes and converted them with node to find the same output of filenames in my JSON.
