The critical combination is that the error title is warning about unknown properties, yet the error message describes missing flow variable values. The message seemly conflicts with the title.

Found to be a false positive during the terraform validate step and does not change the outcome of the terraform plan step. terraform apply is unaffected and therefore the warning is safe to ignore
