Tags in Azure resources are used to organize and categorize resources for better management and organization. However, there might be situations where you need to update a tag value that contains a hyphen in its name. In this article, we will guide you on how to update an Azure resource tag value with a hyphen in its name.
Before we proceed, make sure you have the necessary permissions to update tags on Azure resources. You will need at least the "Contributor" role or equivalent.
Step 1: Sign in to the Azure Portal
Open your preferred web browser and navigate to the Azure Portal. Sign in with your Azure account credentials.
Step 2: Locate the Azure Resource
Once you are signed in to the Azure Portal, navigate to the resource you want to update the tag value for. You can use the search bar at the top of the portal to search for the resource by name.
Step 3: Access the Tags Section
Within the resource's overview page, locate the "Tags" section. This section displays the current tags and their values associated with the resource.
Click on the "Tags" section to expand it and view the existing tags.
Step 4: Update the Tag Value
To update the tag value with a hyphen in its name, you need to enclose the tag name within square brackets. For example, if your tag name is "environment-type", you should enclose it as "[environment-type]".
Click on the tag value you want to update and replace the existing value with the desired value. Make sure to include the square brackets around the tag name.
Once you have updated the tag value, click outside the input field to save the changes.
Step 5: Save the Changes
After updating the tag value, you need to save the changes to apply them to the Azure resource.
Scroll down to the bottom of the resource's overview page and click on the "Save" button to save the changes.
Wait for the changes to be saved and applied to the resource. This process may take a few moments.
Step 6: Verify the Tag Value Update
Once the changes are saved, you can verify the tag value update by navigating back to the "Tags" section of the resource.
Expand the "Tags" section and check if the updated tag value is displayed correctly.
Congratulations! You have successfully updated an Azure resource tag value with a hyphen in its name.
