Azure pipeline YAML: assign variable to another variable

Question

I want to define variable version_ that consists of other my variables, like this:

but variables major, minor, versionCounter and branchPrefix aren't recognized, and this syntax is just transformed into string

I tried to use $(major) syntax, but it also didn't work. How can I fix it?

Hey, welcome on SO. Can you next time paste code instead of the screen. It helps a lot on providing an answer. — Krzysztof Madej, Aug 02 '21 at 11:06
for some reason stackoverflow adds auxiliary characters when code is pasted, making it less readable, if it's fixed, i'll past code in future — Andrii Dusheba, Aug 11 '21 at 09:40

To set a pipeline variable you can use the echo ##vso syntax:

  - bash: |
      echo "##vso[task.setvariable variable=initialBuild]$(Build.BuildNumber)"
    displayName: Save initial build number

or PowerShell

  - pwsh: |
      Write-Host "##vso[task.setvariable variable=initialBuild]$(Build.BuildNumber)"
    displayName: Save initial build number

Please change ${{ }} syntax on branchPrefix and version_ to $[], however on condition with if you should have ${{ }}.
