Trigger build pipeline from the release pipeline - How to actually pass a variable from release to build pipeline?

[nkatunov]

For which extension would you like to add a feature request? Trigger Azure DevOps Pipeline Question I am triggering the build pipeline from the release pipeline and I need to pass a build number variable to the build pipeline. I was trying to use the "Release variable json" field for that with no luck. What I put in here is not set to env variables or to the params passed to the build pipeline. Is there a way to pass a variable?

@nkatunov: you should be able to put in parameters for the builds. The naming of the field is a bit off but this should work: Release variable json

Can you give a bit more specific example pls: Like if I set Release variable json value to {'name': 'test'} I should be able to get this value from my build pipeline by addressing it using parameters? If I specify parameter: name in build yaml file I get an error: "name param is not available". So it seems that the build pipeline cannot see the "name" param set in the Release variable json field in the plugin

You also have to configure parameters in your build pipeline.
