This issue was originally opened by @partamonov as hashicorp/terraform#4581. It was migrated here as part of the provider split. The original body of the issue is below.
With current implementation all roles/data bags items/envs should be specified inside .tf file.
This mean that to use it you have to move all roles/data bags items/envs inside .tf file, but in many cases these roles/data bags items/envs are stored in repositories and better approach (or additional available) is to read from file, with file() interpolation function.
