Writing to Vault secret with consul-template

Im struggling to understand from the doc on how to write to Vault KV using consul-template.

I enabled KV with vault secrets enable -path=secret -version=2 kv

I have the following template,

vault {
  ssl {
    ca_cert = "tls/ca.pem"
  }
  retry {
    backoff = "1s"
  }
}
template {
  contents = <<EOH
    ---
    {{ secret "secret/data/test/admin" "value=test" }}
  EOH
}

However I keep getting,

2019/08/08 22:28:43.201250 [WARN] (view) vault.write(secret/data/test/admin/password -> 2b955093): vault.write(secret/data/test/admin/password -> 2b955093): Error making API request.

URL: PUT http://<vault address>/v1/secret/data/test/admin
Code: 400. Errors:

* no data provided (retry attempt 2 after "500ms")

I have figured out how to read from the store as its well documented but not writing to it. Any help is appreciated

Experiencing the same issue with secret updates.

The cert update works as expected. {{ with secret "pki/issue/exampledotcom" "common_name=example.com"}} {{ .Data.certificate }} {{ end }}
