deploy a custom template Error

Question

Dear Azure team,

I hope you have been doing well.

I have been trying to create a "deploy a custom template" ie. an ARM template. I am sending code and the error:

 ***Source code***:   {

"$schema": "https://schema.management.azure.com/schemas/2019-0401/deploymentTemplate.json#",

"contentVersion": "1.0.0.0",

"parameters": {

    "name": {

        "type": "string",

        "metadata": {

            "description": "mystorageaccount"

        }

    }

},

"functions": [],

"variables": {},

"resources": [

    {

        "name": "[parameters('name')]",

        "type": "Microsoft.Storage/storageAccounts",

        "apiVersion": "2019-06-01",

        "tags": {

            "displayName": "storageaccount1"

        },

        "location": "[resourceGroup().location]",

        "kind": "StorageV2",

        "sku": {

            "name": "Premium_LRS",

            "tier": "Premium"

        }

    }

],

"outputs": {}

}

Error: Deployment template validation failed: 'Template schema 'https://schema.management.azure.com/schemas/2019-0401/deploymentTemplate.json#' is not supported. Supported versions are '2014-04-01-preview,2015-01-01,2018-05-01,2019-04-01,2019-08-01'. Please see https://aka.ms/arm-syntax for usage details.'. (Code: InvalidTemplate)

Please advise.

Thanks,

Deepika

@Deepika Thanks for posting your query on Microsoft Q&A.

I followed the same steps to create a custom template on Azure Portal. I see the following:

Comparing this to what you have shared and also based on the error message, the schema version you’re using (2019-0401) is not among the supported versions for Azure Resource Manager (ARM) templates. Please use 2014-04-01 instead and let me know the results.
