AZ cli add secret to key vault that starts with a hyphen

Question

I am trying to add a secret to my key vault using AZ-CLI:

az keyvault secret set --name my-secret --value "-secret.my"  --vault-name "foo"

As you can see my secret starts with a hyphen '-'. This produces the following error:

ArgumentParseError: argument --value: expected one argument
Try this: 'az keyvault secret set --name MySecret --value {value} --vault-name MyKeyVault'

Any ideas on how to circumvent this without changing the value of the secret?

Answer 1

Updating the answer :

Can you try with a "=" in front of the original value

This

az keyvault secret set --name my-secret --value="-secret.my"  --vault-name "foo"

instead of this

az keyvault secret set --name my-secret --value "-secret.my"  --vault-name "foo"
