template_file not compatible with fields with a StateFunc

[ColinHebert]

It seems currently (terraform 6.6) not possible to use the content of a template_file (or any terraform reference for that matter) in a field with a StateFunc.

This causes #3076 has attempted to be fixed in #3331

My gut feeling is that the StateFunc is applied too early and there is no type for the terraform reference to be processed:
https://github.com/hashicorp/terraform/blob/master/helper/schema/schema.go#L922

The issue mentioned above is with the policy of an S3 bucket, but it also applies to the user_data of a aws_launch_configuration (processed into a sha1 before the content of the file has been imported)

@ColinHebert this PR introduced this bug #2788 If you roll it back and recompile terraform then everything should be fine

[ColinHebert]

@mitchellh Can you check the PR @Fodoj mentioned above, is reverting it the way forward?

[ColinHebert]

@jen20 @mitchellh any news regarding this?

[ColinHebert]

@catsby @jen20 @radeksimko any update in this issue?

[dferramosi]

Any update at all? I am running into this as well, and am now getting serious pressure to fix it or stop using terraform as we need to increase instances and that changes user-data

I can't reproduce this problem anymore on my side.
