overwriting tag Name on azure resourcegroup with powershell

Below is the azure resource

PS C:\Windows\System32> Get-AzResource -ResourceGroupName paniRG


Name              : paniavset123
ResourceGroupName : paniRG
ResourceType      : Microsoft.Compute/availabilitySets
Location          : eastus
ResourceId        : /subscriptions/8987b447-d083-481e-9c0f-f2b73a15b18b/resourceGroups/paniRG/providers/Microsoft.C
                    ompute/availabilitySets/paniavset123
Tags              : 
                    Name            Value 
                    ==============  ======
                    CostCenter      ABCDEG
                    Owner           john  
                    classification  Public

From the above output I want to replace Tag Name "classification" with "Classification" and "Public" with "Accounts".

I am following the below procedure to do that.

PS C:\Windows\System32> $tags=@{"Classification"="Accounts"}

PS C:\Windows\System32> $s=Get-AzResource -ResourceGroupName paniRG

PS C:\Windows\System32> Update-AzTag -ResourceId $s.ResourceId -Tag $tags -Operation Merge


Id         : /subscriptions/8987b447-d083-481e-9c0f-f2b73a15b18b/resourceGroups/paniRG/providers/Microsoft.Compute/availabilitySets/
             paniavset123/providers/Microsoft.Resources/tags/default
Name       : default
Type       : Microsoft.Resources/tags
Properties : 
             Name            Value   
             ==============  ========
             CostCenter      ABCDEG  
             Owner           john    
             classification  Accounts

When I use update-aztag command Tag Value is changing but Name its still showing as "classification".

Can anyone please help me on this?

You could remove the classification tag from the hash table resource Tags, then add a new Classification tag with the new Account value. You can then modify the newly updated hashtable with Set-AzResource.

$resource = Get-AzResource -Name "RESOURCE NAME" -ResourceGroupName "RESOURCE GROUP NAME"

# Get the tags
$tags = $resource.Tags

# Check if hashtable has classification key
if ($tags.ContainsKey("classification")) {

    # Remove classification key if it exists
    $tags.Remove("classification")
}

# Create Classification tag with Accounts value
$tags.Classification = "Accounts"

# Update resource with new tags
$resource | Set-AzResource -Tag $tags -Force

If you want to use Update-AzTag, you will need to use a Replace operation:

Update-AzTag -ResourceId $s.Id -Tag $tags -Operation Replace

The Merge operation will update the value, but not the key name.

Just use -Operation Replace not -Operation Merge

Update-AzTag -ResourceId $s.ResourceId -Tag $mergedTags -Operation Replace
