I would have very much expected myself that variables to be set at build time -- which means easily configurable parameters be the user executing the pipeline could be exposed via YAML. However, I have reached the conclusion that this is not missing in the documentation but totally missing in the product.

I think it is very strange to define the whole pipeline as code and then for approvals and build time parameters to go to the Web UI.

@MSFT could you please explain why some options are not exposed in YAML and make this then clear in the documentation otherwise everyone will just expect this.

Thanks

Hey @vtbassmatt , do you know if the below has/is being implemented?

https://github.com/microsoft/azure-pipelines-yaml/blob/master/design/runtime-parameters.md

@ChrisGibson1982 in progress right now. I'm not sure if we'll have it out this sprint or if it will be one more.

[ChrisGibson1982]

@vtbassmatt Brill, thanks for the update

[kitingChris]

is there an update? This concept would be a great enhancement!

[vtbassmatt]

Apologies, this took longer than expected. New ETA is mid-January.

This isn't a doc issue, the feature doesn't exist right now. Closing, and we'll definitely update the docs when the new feature is available.
