Research direction

The issue names no files or tests. Start at the deployment validation step for an existing resource group and reproduce the Azure Policy tag failure; done means an existing RG with the required tags passes validation and the Create button is enabled.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Hi,

Context:

  • On my subscription, I have an Azure Policy requiring resource groups to have mandatory tags

Issue:

  • I want to deploy startstopv2 on an existing RG complying with tags Policy
  • In the validation step just before creation, I have an error stating that the RG doesn't have the tags required by my Policy.
  • The Create button is greyed out and I can deploy startstopv2
  • It seems that the deployment doesn't care if the RG exists, and simulate the RG creation from scratch (thus without the mandatory tags).

Error message:

Resource 'mytestrg-westeurope-001' was disallowed by policy.
Reasons:
'You need to specify the tag: ApplicationName. It is a required tag !'
'You need to specify the tag: Criticity. It is a required tag !'
