TFS/VSTS, refer to a variable in a variable












0















I wonder if its possible to refer to a variable in another variable using variables in VSTS and/or TFS.



For instance lets assume we have the following variables:




  • var1:http://environment1.somedomain.local/api/endpoint/1

  • var2:http://environment1.somedomain.local/api/endpoint/2

  • var3:http://environment1.somedomain.local/api/endpoint/3


what I would like to achive is something like:




  • varDomain:environment1.somedomain.local

  • var1:http://$(varDomain)/api/endpoint/1

  • var2:http://$(varDomain)/api/endpoint/2

  • var3:http://$(varDomain)/api/endpoint/3


and the be able to use var1,var2 and var3 later on in my build be able to use these as tokens for my web.conifg "transform".. and/or use them in the tasks for my build and/or release.



Anyone aware if its possible to combine variables in this way?
