Azure-pipelines-agent: Updating a Release Name

[alexdegroot]

I'm trying to update my Release-name based on a version I read from my artifact folder. In this way I can visually relate the artifact number to the release.
When I on incident used the Build-update step, it did update the associated build:
Write-Host "##vso[build.updatebuildnumber]$($Env:BUILD_BUILDNUMBER)-($version)"
Is this expected behavior?
Most important, how do I update my Releasename, as this doesn't seem to work:
Write-Host "##vso[release.updatereleasenumber]$version"
Thank you!

@GitHubSriramB ?

@alexdegroot - we don't support ##vso[release.updatereleasenumber] command. We will be adding this support.

What is the value of $version variable you have used in the script? Would you be able to achieve what you want by setting relevant release name mask on the release definition?

[alexdegroot]

@GitHubSriramB $version is resolved from some artifacts. I use the release to publish NuGet-nupkg files. I do extract the version out of it and execute some quality measurements. Then I do a NuGet publish and tag the source code. I'd like to have visual tractability for successful releases which did indeed publish something.

Thanks for clarifying. We have added this to our backlog.
