Note
Process parameters are only available in Classic pipelines. For parameters in YAML pipelines, see runtime parameters.
Process parameters are used in Classic pipelines and differ from variables in the types of input they support. Unlike variables, which only accept strings, process parameters support richer data types such as checkboxes and dropdown lists.
Process parameters are a list of essential settings that can be shared across all tasks in your pipeline definition. They act as central settings for the entire Classic pipeline, making it easy to update values without editing each task. Having these parameters in one location allows you to quickly edit these arguments without having to click through each task individually. Templates come with a set of predefined process parameters.
Note
Process parameters are not available in Classic release pipelines.
