We are facing the same issue. Version 2.40 is breaking our deployment pipeline. It worked fine with previous versions.

@rick-hayek Thank you for reaching out, we are looking into it

@rick-hayek, Please see the explanation and solution at #23797 (comment)

This issue is not just limited to resource tags. Wherever array parameters are passed, cli version 2.40.0 has regressed. Whether it is specifying the service bus access, aks zone configuration all apis are broken. Is there any solution under work? Since the DevOps pipelines are already getting the images with 2.40.0, it is a major impact for us.

@rick-hayek Check if this work around helps? #23920 (comment)

Thanks. I did not try that.

I can get things worked for now using Invoke-Expression:

$settings = [System.Collections.ArrayList]@()
$settings.Add("a=b")
$settings.Add("c=d")
$settingsString = [System.Collections.ArrayList]@()
$settings | Foreach {
    $value = $_.Replace("""", "") # required if your key-value is something like this: myKey="MyValue"
    $settingsString.Add("""$value""") | Out-Null;
}

$command = "az webapp config appsettings set --resource-group $group --name $app --settings $settingsString"

Invoke-Expression -Command $command

This solution works but potentially problematic.
I think storing settings into a list variable could be a common scenario. appreciated if this issue can get fixed.
