Anyone got a second to help me with this. Completely stuck.

<https://github.com/pulumi/pulumi/issues/7179>

ah, our old friend! :smile: while I'm reading the issue, try giving this a read and see if it helps:

okay, read: the short answer is you _can't_ cast an `Output&lt;string&gt;` to a string in the way you're trying

can you explain a little bit more about what you want to do with the Output string that makes you want it to be a string?

oh wait, I see it - you're trying to use an output as the resource name. you can't do that I'm afraid

Wait yes I am using the key for the name duhh, i just realised what I was doing I will update the issue :slightly_smiling_face: thank you so much for looking at this
