TFS 2015 Conditions for variables

Question

till last year we had a build.csproj file with all our build-definitions for a solution. Now we made an update from TFS 2012 to TFS 2015. Now I have to define the build-definitions on the new websurface of the TFS 2015. Its not a problem to define the variables, but how do I work with conditions? In the build.cjproj file its like

<GUIDChanged Condition="'$(ChangeProductID)' == 'true' OR '$(ChangePrinterDriverIDs)' == 'true'">true</GUIDChanged>

How do I got this in the websurface of the TFS 2015?

Thanks a lot! Chris

Are you still using the old XAML builds, or the new vNext builds? — phifi, Feb 16 '17 at 08:41

In vNext there is no this built in feature for now. There has been a related uservoice and got a response with started, you could keep tracking this.

Allow build vNext/preview tasks to be conditionally enabled or disabled

We have begun to work on this feature and it will be available on both team build and release management.

For now you could either still use this XAML build or using multiple Build definition in vNext to handle this situation.
