Terraform (and AzureRM Provider) Version

Terraform v0.12.25
+ provider.archive v1.3.0
+ provider.azurerm v2.12.0
+ provider.null v2.1.2

Affected Resource(s)

azurerm_logic_app_workflow

Terraform Configuration Files

resource "azurerm_logic_app_workflow" "default" {
  name                = var.name
  resource_group_name = data.azurerm_resource_group.default.name
  location            = data.azurerm_resource_group.default.location
  tags                = var.az_tags
  parameters = {
    # the parameter "environment" is of type "Object" in the definition
    environment = {
      subscriptionId = data.azurerm_subscription.default.subscription_id
      tenantId       = data.azurerm_subscription.default.tenant_id
      resourceGroup  = data.azurerm_resource_group.default.name
      datacenter     = data.azurerm_resource_group.default.location
    }
  }
}

data "azurerm_subscription" "default" {}
data "azurerm_resource_group" "default" {
  name = var.az_resource_group
}

There are items we cannot control, for which we need to have object type parameters.

Logic App definitions clearly allow objects to be passed as parameters:

Documentation: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/logic-apps/logic-apps-workflow-definition-language#parameters

Schema reference: https://schema.management.azure.com/providers/Microsoft.Logic/schemas/2016-06-01/workflowdefinition.json#

Output
