Hey  
i have terraform structure:

**main.tf**

```auto
data "local_file" "policy_files" {
  for_each = fileset("${var.policy_files_folder_path}", "*.json")

  filename = "${var.policy_files_folder_path}/${each.value}"
}

resource "azurerm_policy_definition" "policy_definition_security" {
  for_each = data.local_file.policy_files

  name = each.key
  display_name = jsonencode(jsondecode(data.local_file.policy_files[each.key].content).properties.displayName)
  policy_type = "Custom"
  mode = "Indexed"
  metadata = jsonencode(jsondecode(data.local_file.policy_files[each.key].content).properties.metadata)
  policy_rule = jsonencode(jsondecode(data.local_file.policy_files[each.key].content).properties.policyRule)
  parameters = jsonencode(jsondecode(data.local_file.policy_files[each.key].content).properties.parameters)

}

```

**outputs.tf**

```auto
output "policy_definitions_security_output" {
  value = azurerm_policy_definition.policy_definition_security[*].id
}

```

and got this error:

```auto
Error: Unsupported attribute

   on ..\modules\policy\security\policy_definition\outputs.tf line 2, in output "policy_definitions_security_output":
    2: value = azurerm_policy_definition.policy_definition_security[*].id

This object does not have an attribute named "id".

```

by the Terraform documentation it should be correct:

provier version: 3.40

why?

thanks!
