Terraform Version

• github_organization
  If this issue appears to affect multiple resources, it may be an issue with Terraform's core, so please mention this.

Terraform Configuration Files

data "github_organization" "somewhereorg" {
    name = "somewhere"
}

Expected Behavior

I'd expect to be able to retrieve the string somewhere from data.github_organization.somewhereorg.orgname (or some similar attribute (orgslug? I dunno)

Actual Behavior

The only viable outputs are .id (an integer) and .name which is the descriptive text of the organization (e.g "The Somewhere Organization")

Steps to Reproduce

Please list the steps required to reproduce the issue, for example:

1. Make a github_organization data resource as above.
2. Attempt to use that as the template.owner of a github_repository resource
3. Be sad.

Is this still needed ? @jcudit I would like to work on this issue. Thanks! :)

[jcudit]

@Kavinraja-G yes, this does not conflict with other feature development. Feel free to link a PR to this issue when ready for review and THANK YOU!

(sorry for the late reply)

data.github_organization.somewhereorg.login, the login of the organization account, should be what you need.

This should now be fixed in #1052 and release v4.23.0.
