New Pipeline resource variable 'resources.pipeline.<Alias>.requestedForEmail'

[kandula-aswin]

We have a Pipeline A (CI) that is triggered from a commit to Azure Repo.

In the pipeline we can print the following Pre-defined variables

pool:
  vmImage: 'ubuntu-latest'
steps:
- bash: |
    echo "Requested User: $(Build.RequestedFor)"
    echo "Requested Email: $(Build.RequestedForEmail)"
  displayName: 'Print email'

Output:

"Requested User: Adb Def"
"Requested Email: abc.def@example.com"

Subsequently we Pipeline B (CD) triggered by a pipelines resource. It has a set of Pipeline resource variables

trigger: none
resources:
  pipelines:
  - pipeline: build
    source: CiPipeline
    trigger:
      branches:
        include:
        - '*'
pool:
  vmImage: 'ubuntu-latest'
steps:
- bash: |
    echo "Requested User: $(resources.pipeline.build.RequestedFor)"
    echo "Requested Email: $(resources.pipeline.build.RequestedForEmail)"
  displayName: 'Print email'

Output:

"Requested User: Adb Def"
"Requested Email: $(resources.pipeline.build.RequestedForEmail)"

Can resources.pipeline.build.RequestedForEmail be pre-populated with Build.RequestedForEmail value?
