Botframework-solutions: [C#] Template placeholder not replaced.

[GitDruid]

When creating a skill project in C# from "VA and Skills Template", inside the ci-cd file ./Pipeline/[SkillSample].yml, the variable $safeprojectname$ is not replaced with the actual value.

Hi @GitDruid, sorry for the delay. We successfully reproduced the mentioned issue. We confirmed that the variable $safeprojectname$ is not replaced with the actual value using [email protected].

Repro Steps:

1. Install [email protected]
2. Create a new Skill using the installed Virtual Assistant and Skill Templates
3. Check that the $safeprojectname$ placeholder is not replaced in the .yml file
