Terraform CLI
Terraform each object does not contain the referenced attribute
Error: Invalid "each" attribute
Terraform could not evaluate the each object because the expression referenced an attribute that does not exist for the current for_each context.
Observed message
Error: Invalid "each" attribute
Why it happens
- The configuration references an unsupported each attribute such as each.id.
- The for_each value shape changed, but the resource body still assumes a different structure.
- The expression expects an object while the current iteration value is a primitive or map entry.
How to fix it
- Use each.key or each.value as appropriate for the current for_each collection.
- Inspect the type and shape of the for_each data before referencing nested values.
- Refactor the local or map used by for_each if you need richer iteration values.
