other things I've tried:

> pulumi config set --path 'aws:defaultTags.tags.["user:Project"]' my_project
error: invalid configuration key: could not parse aws:defaultTags.tags.["user:Project"] as a configuration key (configuration keys should be of the form `<namespace>:<name>`)

--

> pulumi config set --path 'aws:defaultTags.tags.user:Project' my_project
# same error as above

--

> pulumi config set --path 'aws:defaultTags.tags.test' true
error: defaultTags.tags: expected a map

Hello @icy-controller-6092, the following commands:

$ pulumi config set --path 'aws:defaultTags.tags.key' value
$ pulumi config set --path 'aws:defaultTags.tags.otherkey' othervalue

give me the following stack config:

config:
  aws:defaultTags:
    tags:
      key: value
      otherkey: othervalue

The problem for you is that your

key

contains a colon (

user:Project

). This seems to confuse our argument parsing. Can you file an issue for this? https://github.com/pulumi/pulumi/issues

Hey Ringo, that’s the same format I used for the last command, but I still got the error. This was with a blank yaml so that might be the difference
