Using the DefaultProfile parameter raises an error on Az 6.2.0

[OmriAvissar]

Description

Multiple Az cmdlets raise the following error while specifying the DefaultProfile parameter:
Error getting value from 'Tags' on 'Microsoft.Azure.Commands.Profile.Models.PSAzureSubscription'.

Using the same cmdlets with the same account, without specifying DefaultProfile works as expected.

Happens with a user principal/service principal/system-assigned managed identity (I've tried with Azure Functions).

Note that the following is true:

$null -eq (Connect-AzAccount).Context.Subscription.Tags

maybe related to the following entry in the changelog:

Az.Accounts
Added Tags, AuthorizationSource to PSAzureSusbscripiton and added TenantType, DefaultDomain, TenantBrandingLogoUrl, CountryCode to PSAzureTenant [#15220]

Steps to reproduce

$UserName = '...'
$UserPassword = '...'
$UserPasswordSecureString = ConvertTo-SecureString $UserPassword -AsPlainText -Force
$UserPsCredential = [System.Management.Automation.PSCredential]::New($UserName, $UserPasswordSecureString)

$AzureProfile = Connect-AzAccount -Subscription '...' -Credential $UserPsCredential
$AzureContext = $AzureProfile.Context

$SetAzSqlDatabaseParameters = @{
    'ResourceGroupName'             = '...'
    'ServerName'                    = '...'
    'DatabaseName'                  = '...'
    'RequestedServiceObjectiveName' = 'S0'
    'ComputeModel'                  = 'Provisioned'
}

Set-AzSqlDatabase @SetAzSqlDatabaseParameters -DefaultProfile $AzureContext

I've tried using Az.Accounts version 2.4.0 instead of 2.5.0.

It seems to work fine.

[dingmeng-xue]

Thanks @OmriAvissar . We will look into this issue with high priority. It should be one regression issue in Az.Accounts 2.5.0

[dingmeng-xue]

Root cause may be related to this code
https://github.com/Azure/azure-powershell-common/blob/b117855f04a855bc2574accd0a9d3be92d4e5b69/src/Authentication.Abstractions/Extensions/AzureSubscriptionExtensions.cs#L203

This is affecting us too. A short-term workaround seems to be adding at least one tag on the subscription, but this definitely seems like a bug.

[dingmeng-xue]

Az 6.2.1 and Az.Accounts 2.5.1 have been released.
