When deploying a repository using the following workflow as documented at [https://circleci.com/docs/2.0/workflows/#git-tag-job-execution:](https://circleci.com/docs/2.0/workflows/#git-tag-job-execution:)

```auto
workflows:
  version: 2
  build:
    jobs:
      - build:
        filters:
          tags:
            only: /.*/

```

Our builds are not being triggered. By looking into the workflow view, we can see the error:

> Encountered errors trying to create workflows from this config: Config does not conform to schema: {:workflows {:build {:jobs [{:build (not (map? nil)), :filters {:tags disallowed-key}}]}}}

If this is disallowed, what is the correct syntax to build a tag?

Interestingly enough circle.yml seems to validate fine against the client:

```auto
$ circleci config validate -c .circleci/config.yml

  config file is valid

```

I’ve only used branch filters, so I won’t promise your exact tags syntax is perfect, but you do require a little more indentations:

```auto
workflows:
  version: 2
  build:
    jobs:
      - build:
          filters: # indent this and below 2 more spaces
            tags:
              only: /.*/

```

@CJBridges that should work, thank you. I can’t believe I missed that, and by reading the schema error again that does seem to be the issue.

It would be nice in the future if `circleci config validate` performed schema validation against the config. prettifying the schema output would be a lot more helpful to read as well.

EDIT: yes that was the issue. Thank you.
