Terraform: remote backend Terraform version validation does not work with Terraform Cloud local execution mode

[e-moshaya]

Terraform Version

0.14.1

...

Terraform Configuration Files

data "terraform_remote_state" "remote" {
  backend = "remote"

  config = {
    organization = "organisation"
    workspaces = {
      name = "workspace1"
    }
  }
}

Crash Output

Expected Behavior

Ideally, check the remote state file terraform_version field instead of execution mode remote version

Actual Behavior

Error: Error loading state error

  on data.tf line 81, in data "terraform_remote_state" "organization":
  81:   backend = "remote"

error loading the remote state: Remote workspace Terraform version "latest"
does not match local Terraform version "0.14.1"
