on every flow

Expected Behavior

Should add description to Flows

Actual Behavior

Steps to Reproduce

1. terraform apply

Important Factoids

We were relying on flowJson.description in 0.2.x but in change to 0.3.x that was being ignored, so added a description field in the block and now we see this error message (all flows)

hey @dbryar thanks for raising! I'm still working to reproduce this issue, but I do think that if description is left undefined, falling back to the description value in the flow import is sensible. I'll line this change up for the next minor release
