Unable to set defaultTags via CLI

[t0yv0]

What happened?

Unable to set defaultTags provider setting for the default provider using Pulumi CLI.

Expected Behavior

There should be some easy way set the default tags.

Steps to reproduce

$ pulumi new aws-typescript
$ pulumi config  set --path 'aws:defaultTags["name"]' 'thename'

$ pulumi config
KEY              VALUE
aws:defaultTags  {"name":"thename"}
aws:region       us-east-1

$ pulumi config --json                                                                                                                                                     ~/tmp/2023/08/aws-deftags
{
  "aws:defaultTags": {
    "value": "{\"name\":\"thename\"}",
    "objectValue": {
      "name": "thename"
    },
    "secret": false
  },
  "aws:region": {
    "value": "us-east-1",
    "secret": false
  }
}


$ pulumi preview
error: pulumi:providers:aws resource 'default_5_42_0' has a problem: could not validate provider configuration: Invalid or unknown key. Check `pulumi config get --path aws:defaultTags.name`.

$ pulumi config rm aws:defaultTags
$ pulumi config set --path 'aws:default_tags["name"]' 'thename'

$ pulumi config
KEY               VALUE
aws:default_tags  {"name":"thename"}
aws:region        us-east-1

$ pulumi config --json                                                                                                                                                     ~/tmp/2023/08/aws-deftags
{
  "aws:default_tags": {
    "value": "{\"name\":\"thename\"}",
    "objectValue": {
      "name": "thename"
    },
    "secret": false
  },
  "aws:region": {
    "value": "us-east-1",
    "secret": false
  }
}


$ pulumi preview
error: pulumi:providers:aws resource 'default_5_42_0' has a problem: could not validate provider configuration: Expected Object Type. Expected object, got string. Check `pulumi config get --path aws:defaultTags`.

I recently did some work in the bridge pertaining to adding "Check pulumi config get --path aws:defaultTags.name" messages could be relevant here:

https://github.com/pulumi/pulumi-terraform-bridge/releases/tag/v3.51.0

This changed from 5.37 to 5.38 but technically not a regression, didn't work in the first place.

Try $ pulumi config set --path 'aws:defaultTags.tags["name"]' 'thename'

This is how https://www.pulumi.com/registry/packages/aws/api-docs/provider/#providerdefaulttags describes the format.
