BluePrint configure resourceGroup tags from parameter about azure-blueprints HOT 3 OPEN

I don't think we support object parameters. I think the tag values need to be passed individually. Have you tried that?

Hi @pkhabazi
The reason I believe you are getting the error message 'Error converting value "[parameters('tags')]" to type 'System.Collections.Generic.IDictionary`2[System.String,System.String]' is because the "[parameters('tags')]" expression within the resourceGroups section does not actually get substituted with the "tags" object you defined in the parameters section. The ARM interpreter is passing a literal string "[parameters('tags')]" to the function that attempts conversion to a System.Collections.Generic.IDictionary<String,String> object and that is why it fails.

So in your first example, you are actually trying to pass a string to the tags element while it is expecting an object. In your second example, you are passing an object. Keep in mind that in the second example, the "[parameters('tagsvalue')]" string is also not getting replaced with "value1" when you run the Import-AzBlueprintWithArtifact command. It just sets the value of the "Tags1" key to the "[parameters('tagsvalue')]" string.

VS Code's syntax highlighting for ARM templates is misleading in this case. The color coding for the "[parameters('tags')]" expression in the resourceGroups section should be represented in the standard red denoting a string.
