terraform lookup function is not returning null by default

I am trying to decide the Azure Web application stack based on the input using lookup function, however I am getting below error saying to have only one stack in the application_stack block. However the expectation is java_version line should return null. When I try null for java_version it works fine. There is something wrong in my lookup function syntax ?

terraform plan
╷

I want to create a web app with node stack version. Below is the terraform code

variable "applicationstack" {
  type = string
  default = "node"  
}

variable "stack_version" {
  type = map
  default ={
    node = "~14"
    java = "8"
  }
}

resource "azurerm_resource_group" "example" {
  name     = "eus-s-test-rg-01"
  location = "eastus"
}

resource "azurerm_storage_account" "example" {
  name                     = "eusperftestjs01"
  resource_group_name      = azurerm_resource_group.example.name
  location                 = azurerm_resource_group.example.location
  account_tier             = "Standard"
  account_replication_type = "LRS"
}


resource "azurerm_service_plan" "example" {
  name                = "example-app-service-plan"
  resource_group_name = azurerm_resource_group.example.name
  location            = azurerm_resource_group.example.location
  os_type             = "Windows"
  sku_name            = "Y1"
}

resource "azurerm_windows_function_app" "example" {
  name                = "eus-perf-test-js-01"
  resource_group_name = azurerm_resource_group.example.name
  location            = azurerm_resource_group.example.location
  storage_account_name       = azurerm_storage_account.example.name
  storage_account_access_key = azurerm_storage_account.example.primary_access_key
  service_plan_id            = azurerm_service_plan.example.id
  site_config {
    application_stack {
      node_version = lookup(var.stack_version,var.applicationstack,null)
      java_version = lookup(var.stack_version,var.applicationstack,null)
    }
  }
}

>Solution :

You could try using the ternary operator in terraform for this [1]. The code would have to be changed slightly:

    application_stack {
      node_version = var.applicationstack == "node" ? var.stack_version.node : null
      java_version = var.applicationstack == "node" ? null : var.stack_version.java
    }
