    Taskgroup Parameter ignored if default value is used.

    Reported by Michl Steglich Mar 15, 2017 at 01:28 PM tfs

    When you create a taskgroup -> add default values for task group variables -> save -> add a variable to task group -> use taskgroup with default values, then you will face the problem that the values will be empty. In my case, I used the task execute a command line command with the values as parameters.

    Hi,

    Can you elaborate the flow so that we can try to repro the issue.

    How many variables have you added to the Task group.

    Have you provided default values for all the variables in Taskgroup. Can you share an image.

    When you add the taskgroup to the release definition, were all the default values for all the variables empty?

    Please share the snapshots at rm_customerqueries at Microsoft dot com.
