Introduction

In this tech blog, we’ll unravel the magic behind Azure CLI shorthand syntax and discover how it can elevate your command-line experience.

By unlocking the potential of Azure CLI Shorthand Syntax, we want to make your command-line experience as smooth as possible.

Quick walkthrough

Full Value Format: JSON without the quotes, making complex objects a breeze.

az some-command –contact “{name:Bill,age:20,paid:true,emails:[Bill@microsoft.com,Bill@outlook.com],address:{country:USA,company:Microsoft,details:{line1:’15590 NE 31st St’,line2:’Redmond, WA’}}}”

Partial Value Format: Simplifying commands with key-value simplicity.

az some-command –contact name=Bill

az some-command –contact age=20 paid=true

az some-command –contact emails[1]=”Bill@outlook.com”

az some-command –contact address.details=”{line1:’15590 NE 31st St’,line2:’Redmond, WA’}”

az some-command –contact address.details=./address_details.json

Combine Full Value and Partial Value for ultimate flexibility.

az some-command –contact “{name:Bill,age:20,paid:true,emails:[Bill@microsoft.com,Bill@outlook.com]}” motto=”One man’s bug is another man’s lesson.”

az some-command –contact “{name:Bill,??”

az some-command –contact “{name:Bill,address:??”

az some-command –contact “{name:Bill,address:{country:??”

az some-command –contact “{name:Bill,address:{country:USA},emails:??”

az some-command –contact “{name:Bill,address:{country:USA},emails:[??”

az some-command –contact name=”‘Bill RP'” data=”‘{a: [1, 2]}'”

az some-command –contact name=”‘null'”

az some-command –contact name=”‘bill’/s'”

?? for Help: Use ?? to reveal helpful hints, making your life easier.

az some-command –contact “??”

az some-command –contact “{??”

az some-command –contact “{name:Bill,??”

az some-command –contact “{name:Bill,address:??”

az some-command –contact “{name:Bill,address:{country:??”

az some-command –contact “{name:Bill,address:{country:USA},emails:??”

az some-command –contact “{name:Bill,address:{country:USA},emails:[??”

az some-command –contact address=”??”

az some-command –contact emails=”??”

az some-command –contact emails[0]=”??”

Passing null Values: Effortlessly handle null values in both Full Value and Partial Value formats.

Pass null in Full Value:

az some-command –contact “{name:Bill,age:20,paid:true,emails:[Bill@microsoft.com,Bill@outlook.com],address:null}”

Pass null in Partial Value:

az some-command –contact name=Bill address=null

Single Quotes String is used to pass a string value with special characters: `:`, `,`, `{`, `}`, `[`, `]`, `null`, `??` and space. Because those characters usually have other meanings when parsing shorthand syntax. So with single quotes, it tells parser to parse as a string only.

Pass a String Value with Space and Special Characters

Crafting commands with spaces or special characters? No worries! Single Quotes String ensures your strings stay intact:

az some-command –contact “{name:’Bill RP’,age:20,paid:true,data:'{a: [1, 2]}’}”

az some-command –contact name=”‘Bill RP'” data=”‘{a: [1, 2]}'”

Pass a “null” String Value

Need to pass a string with the value “null”? Single Quotes String to the rescue:

az some-command –contact “{name:’null’,age:20,paid:true}”

az some-command –contact name=”‘null'”

Use ‘/ to Pass ‘: Handling the tricky single quote within a Single Quotes String? Use ‘/ to navigate smoothly:

az some-command –contact “{name:’bill’/s’,age:20,paid:true}”

az some-command –contact name=”‘bill’/s'”

az some-command –contact name=”bill’s”

Overall, our shorthand syntax is designed to streamline command creation, making it more concise and intuitive for day-to-day development around Azure CLI. By condensing commonly used parameters, it not only saves keystrokes but also enhances readability which will greatly beneficial to our codebase and CLI developer community.

I am running Windows 11.

I recently had occasion to re-discover “Sticky Keys”.  I had to make multiple selections in a row of data and it allowed me to lock the CTRL key and select individual items.

As I looked to find out more about this feature, there were many mentions of a sticky key icon on the taskbar.

I have not been able to see an icon when Sticky Keys is activated.

Please advise how I can have a Sticky Keys icon in the taskbar when the feature is activated.

thanks

I created a flow in Power Automate that, among other things, creates a folder in a document repository containing a ‘Due Date’ column. When creating the folder using Automate, I can set a date for this column, but when I try to edit this column directly in SharePoint, the field does not appear for editing. How can I manually edit this field?”

Hi there

I have a situation where I need to get the Context weight group of each managed property in our SPO tenant.   I was hoping there was a way to get this with a Powershell script or some sort of hidden download option but I am not seeing anything.  

Does anyone know if there is a way to get this information without having to go into each Managed property?  

This is all related to search results that are showing up in a weird order and we are thinking that someone changed the weight group on something but I am at a loss as to where they changed it.  So just trying to find a way to figure that out.  

Thanks in advance.

Hello, 

I was originally a Microsoft 365 customer with GoDaddy Subscription. 

Recently, I have switched my hosting from GoDaddy to SiteGround, including the domain and the email server and cancelled my service with Microsoft 365. All the email addresses used previously with GoDaddy under the domain was recreated in the new Email server. 

For example, I had an email named email address removed for privacy reasons under Microsoft 365, a same email address email address removed for privacy reasons was recreated in my Siteground email server. Same as other email addresses.

After switching over, I am experiencing a few problems. 

1. I cannot use the Outlook Calendar feature using the new email account when I log in using Mac Devices. However, if i login the email address using a Windows PC, I can find the calendar in the calendar app. Since I use Mac more often then windows, is there a way to configure the Mac Outlook setting to display the calendar on mac? 

2. In Windows Outlook, I am able to switch the display name of my email address when I send out, but in Mac, that option is greyed out. Is that a bug issue or is there a way to fix it? (I figured out a way to edit the name by choose “Sync directly with IMAP”, but that will cost me the deliverability of the email address, which the mailbox has issue with receiving and delivering emails after using this method) 

Here are the ways I have tried before: 

1. Switching back to Legacy Outlook to do the change and switch back (No result)
2. Using Apple Mail (built-in APP) in mac to login, nothing wrong with the deliverability even if I login using sync with IMAP

3. Windows Outlook can do everything I mentioned in this discussion, the only issue is with Mac Outlook. 

Please advise me with a possible solution that can fix this issue. I’ve read many threads about the same issue but none of them has a solution to it. 

Thanks,

Ryan
