As it is I can't run the terraform apply without the escape characters, but the output isn't valid. ### Actual Behavior terraform output string = "\\\\hello\\\\" yaml = <<EOT "string": "\\\\hello\\\\" EOT terraform output -raw string \hello\ terraform output -raw yaml "string": "\\\\hello\\\\" *The web interface to report this required that I change the double backslashes to quad backslashes to show the output I get from the console. ### Steps to Reproduce 1. Terraform Init 2. Terraform apply 3. Terraform output -raw string 4. Terraform output -raw yaml ### Additional Context I am attempting to pass bash commands through yaml to aws_imagebuilder_component data. When I apply the code with the escape characters that terraform required AWS is receiving the escape characters as part of the command. ### References _No response_ ### Generative AI / LLM assisted development? _No response_
