[ishikaray16]

Describe the bug
While testing [https://community.f5.com/kb/technicalarticles/f5-hybrid-security-architectures-part-5---f5-xc-big-ip-apm-cis-and-nginx-ingress/320168]
NGINX App Protect output "external_name" is not getting populated in Terraform Cloud outputs. Resulting in the below error in the run.

│ Error: Error in function call │ │ on ingress.tf line 9, in resource "kubernetes_ingress_v1" "***-ingress": │ 9: host = try(data.tfe_outputs.nap[0].values.external_name, data.tfe_outputs.nic[0].values.external_name) │ ├──────────────── │ │ while calling try(expressions...) │ │ Call to function "try" failed: no expression succeeded: │ - Unsupported attribute (at ingress.tf:9,48-62) │ This object does not have an attribute named "external_name". │ - Unsupported attribute (at ingress.tf:9,94-108) │ This object does not have an attribute named "external_name". │ │ At least one expression must produce a successful result.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Configure github and Terraform cloud with variables and tokens mentioned in the article
2. Create/navigate to branch deploy-xcbn-cis, and configure infra/terraform.tfvars accordingly
3. Push the changes to trigger the run
4. Infra, EKS, BIGIP base, BIGIP CIS, NAP were successful
5. One of the outputs created from NAP run is not accessible to ARCADIA runs

Expected behavior
Output "external_name" should have been populated in terraform cloud and logs under NAP.
