Is it possible to make Task Groups parameter values settable at release time?

Question

I have a task group with multiple parameters and it's being used in my release pipeline. Is it possible to make those parameters settable at release time?

For example

In my task group, I have these parameters

• Username = user123
• Password = password123

And that task group is being used as the task of my release pipeline When I'm creating a release I want to make the Username and Password parameters to be settable before triggering the Create(release) button.

I tried to create a variable GetUsername with value $(Username) in the Variable tab and make it settable at release time but when creating a release the return value of $(Username) is not the user123 instead it's $(Username)

Hope this makes sense. Thanks

You can't set variable at trigering release. Simply there is no option for that.

But to have your pipeline working correctly with variables and task group (as with other regular task) you ust ensure that you have variables set in Variables tab (or dynamically during pipeline)
