question

Hello.

I have two configuration whose name is A and B. Configuration A can promote B and pass a varible named VAR to B.
But A and B both have variable named Var. That means i have three variable named VAR, and i want to mark their value as A_VAR, B_VAR and P_VAR.

A promote B passed P_VAR, but B recieved A_VAR. It's not what I expected.
Is it a bug or a design?
And is there any other way to do this?

Furthermore, how could i get the A'path and pass this path to B?

If same variable names are used, variable defined in promotion will take preference over B. A's variable will never be used in case of promotion.

But B failed when tried to use checkout step based on the passed variable. I found A_VAR was used in B's checkout step.

did you check the box "Do Not Pass Revision", otherwise all repositories that are shared between A and B will be the same revision on a checkout step.

You may reproduce the issue with a sample QB instance, and then send the database backup to [robin AT pmease DOT com].

Thanks! :blush: I've found that's because i didn't notice the parameters of the promotion step. When I check the box "Do Not Pass Revision", the previously described problem didn't recur.:relaxed:
