Collecting subscription from the stages in release instead of using the pipeline variable.

Question

Dear Team, I am currently engaged in the development of a YAML pipeline to validate a PowerShell script that performs specific tasks. The PowerShell script incorporates a variable, $subscriptionId, where the value needs to be provided within the build and release pipeline. However, I aim to avoid utilizing a pipeline variable for the subscriptionId. Is there a method to gather the subscriptionId from the release pipeline to the YAML task that I am executing? Below is the inline script used for validating the build pipeline:

powershellCopy codeInstall-Module -Name PSScriptAnalyzer -Force -Scope CurrentUser

I seek your guidance on whether it is feasible to collect the subscription ID from the PowerShell task. Thank you for your assistance.

Hei @Deepak Kumar Sharma ,

Thank you for contacting Microsoft Community. As i understand, you have a pipeline with a powershell task and you want to pass the output of the powershell task to the next task. Essentially save the output of powershell task to a runtime variable and then reference the runtime variable in the next task.

• The following article shows you all the ways to share the out put of one task across other task or stages etc. Share values across task or stages
• In case you want to pass a value as a variable to multiple pipelines user Variable Groups as described here
