Azure Pipeline Yaml; file error when initiating a Powershell script

When I am invoking a yaml file in my Azure Pipeline, sample is

 - task: AzurePowerShell@5
      displayName: 'Execute PowerShell Script on Target VMs'
      inputs:
        azureSubscription: ${{ variables.SERVICE_CONNECTION_NAME }}
        pwsh: true
        ScriptType: 'FilePath'
        ScriptPath: 'pipeline-scripts/Deploy-ALZDomainControllers.ps1'
      env:
        LOCATION: $(LOCATION)
        TOP_LEVEL_MG_PREFIX: $(TOP_LEVEL_MG_PREFIX)
        UPSTREAM_RELEASE_VERSION: $(UPSTREAM_RELEASE_VERSION)
        IS_PULL_REQUEST: $(IS_PULL_REQUEST)

I get this error:

##[debug]Caught exception from task script.

I have no version specification – tried with and withpoot but consistenly the same argument error.

Suggestions please

Have tried using Version with and without quote marks etc but always complains abouyt version.

I want to install and invoke the Azure AZ module and not use the AzureRM module as it is deprecated and some of the commands from Az.Control are what I need to use in my script

    The Azure PowerShell version ” specified is not in the correct format. Please check the format. An example of correct format is 1.0.1

    Checked the Azure PowerShell task definition, the cause of the issue is that you need to define the azurePowerShellVersion or preferredAzurePowerShellVersion in the Azure PowerShell task.

    For example:

    - task: AzurePowerShell@5
  displayName: 'Execute PowerShell Script on Target VMs'
  inputs:
    azureSubscription: ${{ variables.SERVICE_CONNECTION_NAME }}
    pwsh: true
    ScriptType: 'FilePath'
    ScriptPath: 'pipeline-scripts/Deploy-ALZDomainControllers.ps1'
    azurePowerShellVersion: 'LatestVersion'
  env:
    LOCATION: $(LOCATION)
    TOP_LEVEL_MG_PREFIX: $(TOP_LEVEL_MG_PREFIX)
    UPSTREAM_RELEASE_VERSION: $(UPSTREAM_RELEASE_VERSION)
    IS_PULL_REQUEST: $(IS_PULL_REQUEST)

    Or

    - task: AzurePowerShell@5
  displayName: 'Execute PowerShell Script on Target VMs'
  inputs:
    azureSubscription: ${{ variables.SERVICE_CONNECTION_NAME }}
    pwsh: true
    ScriptType: 'FilePath'
    ScriptPath: 'pipeline-scripts/Deploy-ALZDomainControllers.ps1'
    preferredAzurePowerShellVersion: '3.1.0'
  env:
    LOCATION: $(LOCATION)
    TOP_LEVEL_MG_PREFIX: $(TOP_LEVEL_MG_PREFIX)
    UPSTREAM_RELEASE_VERSION: $(UPSTREAM_RELEASE_VERSION)
    IS_PULL_REQUEST: $(IS_PULL_REQUEST)
