Nested template inline with resource copy about armexamples HOT 9 OPEN

I've found another strange issue. ListKeys function also seems to not work in nested template. For example, Azure Function default template contains this code:

{
    "name": "AzureWebJobsDashboard",
    "value": "[concat('DefaultEndpointsProtocol=https;AccountName=',parameters('storageName'),';AccountKey=',listKeys(resourceId('Microsoft.Storage/storageAccounts', parameters('storageName')), '2015-05-01-preview').key1)]"
},

And it perfectly works in root a template, but in nested template I get an error:
The Resource 'Microsoft.Storage/storageAccounts/somestorageaccount' under resource group 'RG' was not found.
It looks like dependsOn defined on Function resource is ignored and listKeys tries to execute before storage account is created.

did you find an answer/workaround to this ?

Yeah, I stopped using nested inline templates.

Having the same problem myself.

This still seems to be an issue using even the latest API - 2018-05-01

I worked around the issue by looping outside of the nested template

Did you find any workaround to this? I have this piece of resource which I want to iterate couple of times
The code below is part of the master template, I use the template link (citrix-connector-vm.json) which, actually creates a VM
{
"name": "[concat('CreateConnector',copyIndex(),uniqueString(resourceGroup().id))]",
"type": "Microsoft.Resources/deployments",
"apiVersion": "2017-05-10",
"dependsOn": [
"[resourceId('Microsoft.Compute/availabilitySets', variables('connAvailailitySetName'))]"
],

"templateLink": {

},

Sorry to bump up an older topic, but I can repro this issue with the copy function and nested templates as well.

Anything on this yet?
