Bicep diagnostic code - BCP288

This diagnostic occurs when the name specified is a type, but it's being used as a value.

<name> refers to a type but is being used as a value here.

Error

Use a name of a value.

The following example raises the diagnostic because bar is a name of a user-defined data type, not a value:

type bar = 'white'
var foo = bar 

You can fix the diagnostic by assigning a value to the variable foo:

var bar = 'white'
var foo = bar
