Steps to Reproduce

• With the above config, run a targeted apply on the data.argocd_application.xxx data source.

Expected Behavior

The data source would populate and I could inspect its values.

Actual Behavior

Terraform says there's a bug in the provider and I should report it.

Important Factoids

• I did not try this without -targeting, but it shouldn't make a difference.
