If applicable, add screenshots to help explain your problem. --> This is how it should autocomplete after the "name" block is selected the "source" & "value" are automatically come up

Below screenshot after adding "name" block the the "source" & "value" does not populate

Additional context

I have uninstalled & reinstalled VS Code, reinstalled the HashiCorp Terraform extension, removed & reinstalled/copied terraform.exe but still its not auto populating as per the previous screenshot where it shows after adding "name" block the "source" & "value" add automatically

Hi @vinay-menon336 Thank you for the suggestion.

The completion of expressions (anything after = in HCL) generally needs a lot of work still - we track it under https://github.com/hashicorp/vscode-terraform/issues/641

Just to clarify, you're hoping to have the inside of {} filled out when you do the following completion, correct?

If so - that makes sense! The only thing on our side we'll need to figure out is how to decide which fields to complete or not. We could complete just the required ones, which is just the source.

However I think we should be completing version as well, to promote best practice of provider version pinning, even though that field is in fact optional.

Then there's also configuration_aliases which is needed by relatively few people and in most cases irrelevant when introducing a new provider, so completing all 3 attributes also doesn't make much sense.
