Azure Key Vault - symbol limitation for Azure DevOps

Question

Within Azure Key Vault, you can have hyphens as the only valid symbol for the name field. This is an issue when using variable libraries in Azure DevOps to access a secret in Key Vault. For example, TF_VAR_ is the name of a variable that is accessible in some code we have. There is no method I can see where you can map the name in Key Vault to a variable name in DevOps. This variable must contain symbols like underscores as the binary expects pass throughs from external sources to start with TF_VAR_
