No way to get connection strings of the Federated database auto-created by Online Archive using Terraform

What problem are you trying to solve?

Focus on the what and why of the need you have, not the how you'd like it solved.

We have created an Online Archive instance using mongodbatlas_online_archive TF Resource. The problem we are currently facing is that we cannot find a way to fetch connection strings to the federated database instances.

  • mongodbatlas_online_archive - does not return any connection string

  • mongodbatlas_federated_database_instance(s) data sources - do not work because they do not support type parameter.

What would you like to see happen?

Describe the desired outcome or enhancement.

Either change mongodbatlas_online_archive to return connection strings or update mongodbatlas_federated_database_instance(s) data sources to support type parameter

Why is this important to you or your team?

Explain how the request adds value or solves a business need.

We want to use mongo atlas terraform provider to interact with our atlas infrastructure

What steps, if any, are you taking today to manage this problem?

The API works only when we specify the type parameter. Unfortunately this parameter is not supported by any existing TF resources

atlas api dataFederation listDataFederation --groupId <...> --type ONLINE_ARCHIVE 

This is not ideal for us because we want to use official mongo atlas terraform provider to work with our infrastructure
