How to Increase/Update Variable Group value using Azure Devops Build Definition?

Question

Am working on Azure Devops CI&CD. Here, my release name must be in Version number using tags. Am getting this with the help of Variable Groups, by adding tags and value

Answer 1

I used this task to update the value of my variables inside my group.

Shared variable updater (preview)

Dont forget to set those settings :

1. Requires 'Allow scripts to access the OAuth token' in agent job additional options

2. Set administrator role to 'Project Collection Build Service' in the variable group.

In case of using a YAML pipeline

When using a YAML pipeline, the OAuth token is automatically added (no need for step 1 above), but requires a bit of work to make accessible for the powershell script. Use the guidance here to be able to use the token.
