terraform {
required_providers {
sops = {
source = "carlpett/sops"
version = "~> 0.5"
}
}
}

module "secrets-manager-2" {

source = "git::https://github.com/lgallard/terraform-aws-secrets-manager.git?ref=0.6.2"
secrets = jsondecode(file("${path.module}/secrets/mongo-secret"))
}

i have directory called,
cat secrets/mongo-secret
{
secret-kv-1 = {
description = "This is a key/value secret"
secret_key_value = {
key1 = "value1"
key2 = "value2"
}
recovery_window_in_days = 7
policy = <<POLICY
{
"Version": "2012-10-17",
"Statement": [

secret_key_value = {

@judeaugustinej it seems an issue in the way you are using the module or the content or your file. Let me know if you were able to overcame it.
