Hi @anilsampson ,

The error means your dashboard_task is not properly nested under the tasks section.

tasks:

- task_key: dashboard_task
dashboard_task:
dashboard_id: ${resources.dashboards.nyc_taxi_trip_analysis.id}
warehouse_id: ${var.warehouse_id}
subscription:
subscribers:
- user_name: ${workspace.current_user.userName}
paused: false

Make sure dashboard_task is indented under the task item (not at the same level as tasks:)
