Suggestion: Set variable rather than Tag #3

Open AJH16 opened 5 years ago

This is the foundation of a super useful extension that I'm amazed is not available already. However, the direct implementation of tagging actually makes this significantly less useful.

I would suggest that it be altered to set a custom variable rather than tag. With a custom variable set, it would be possible to have a later build step using the conditional logic which could do anything or multiple things based on the result of the check.

Hey @AJH16

Thanks for the suggestion, it makes sense. When i created this extension I specifically tailored it to my needs and the workflow i've implemented it in.

Since it's open source, feel free to fork and make changes and create a PR or publish it as your own extension :)
