Trouble with setting "Defines Branch that shall be used" to a release variable #168

Closed JaredLane77 closed 3 years ago

This is a fantastic extension, thank you! This is working great when I set "Defines Branch that shall be used" to a static branch name, but I'd like to use a variable. I am creating a Git branch in a previous step using the name of the release: $(RELEASE_RELEASENAME). This does not seem to be rendering when the task is processed, as the build fails trying to specify that string as the branch name:

20210326.22 failed $(RELEASE_RELEASENAME)

20210326.21 succeeded Release-16

Is using a variable in this context possible?

Thank you.

Sorry, hope no one wasted their time on this, I had the wrong variable name, should be:

Release.ReleaseName

Thanks!
