I have the same issue in vmware/terraform-provider-vcd.
During a test import, where I want to import a resource, I get an error saying that it can't save the state of some data sources:

2022-09-23T10:42:43.177+0200 [TRACE] sdk.helper_resource: Called Terraform CLI import command: test_name=TestAccVcdDistributedFirewall test_step_number=3 test_terraform_path=/usr/local/bin/terraform test_working_directory=/var/folders/rz/cn7hvgzd1dl5y23l378dsf_c0000gn/T/plugintest3181630485/work1768856104

This behavior seems similar to the one reported to the plugin SDK Issue #1066, where a data source is erroneously compared to a resource.

Same problem here - trying to import a resource and we exhibit:

Instance data.azurerm_key_vault_secret.machine_login_credentials has status ObjectPlanned, which cannot be saved in state.

My use case is a generated Azure Key Vault secret.

I have also seen this using AWS provider. Downgrade to 1.2.7 fixed it.
