It would be great if this could be added to your module after general release. Thanks for your work on creating this function, it works great :).

"New-AzAutomationModule : Cannot validate argument on parameter 'RuntimeVersion'. The argument "7.1" does not belong to the set "5.1,7.2" specified by the ValidateSet attribute. Supply an argument that is in the set and then try the command again."

GUI shows it, but official commands (like Get-AzAutomationModule) don't support it :) So I will remove it too.
