Describe the bug

the bug described in issue https://github.com/Azure/azure-devops-cli-extension/issues/1043 is still present. Doesnot seem to be updated in mentioned issue, therefor (re)opening here. I can confirm that the --pipeline-name still doesnot work, but the --pipeline-id does work. Please update the command to not accept the --pipeline-name argument and update help and documentation. Or (prefereable) solve the bug. Command Name az pipelines variable delete Extension Name: azure-devops. Version: 0.25.0.

Additional Context

This is still a problem in 0.26.0.

It would be useful if at the very least, the official documentation was updated to steer people to the --pipeline-id parameter instead of --pipeline-name.

For anyone after a viable workaround, make a call to az pipelines show and mine the result for the id and use that for az pipelines variable delete.

pwsh:
$id = (az pipelines show --name 'My Pipeline' | ConvertFrom-Json).id
az pipelines variable delete --yes --pipeline-id $id --name 'MyVariable'
