Can I define Global Variables across Build Definitions in VSTS?

Question

In VSTS it is possible to create variables per build definition as per the Microsoft documentation

https://www.visualstudio.com/en-us/docs/build/define/variables

Is it possible to define global variables that I can use across multiple build definitions?

Scenario:

I have a variable 'MyPassword' that is used in multiple definitions. If I want to change the value of 'MyPassword' I have to do it in each build definition rather than just in one global variable.

This feature is added to vsts.

Old awnser: This is no possible at this moment. It seems a nice feature. I'll user voice item for this.

Please have a look at your answer; you probably want to edit it. – GhostCat Dec 19 '16 at 16:57
That's related to Releases, not Builds unfortunately – jrummell Feb 14 '17 at 13:48
