ADO YAML - output variables troubleshoot

Hi, I have pipeline, which compiles my app and publishes artifacts to azure, then I want to drop them to GitHub Releases. The problem is the necessity to use artifact names (due to compilation of android and windows app in the same pipeline) kinda like on provided image, ofc without debugs The problem is about exporting output variables (compilled artifact names) to other stages Compilation and Azure drop:

- publish: $(Build.SourcesDirectory)/SMCEBI_Navigator/bin
  displayName: Publish full compiled app
  artifact: '$(Build.BuildNumber)_${{ parameters.framework }}'

- pwsh: Write-Host "##vso[task.setvariable variable=outputArtifactName;isOutput=true]$(Build.BuildNumber)_${{ parameters.framework }}"
  displayName: Export artifact name to pipeline

- pwsh: Write-Host $(properties.outputArtifactName)
  displayName: Echo outputted name

- publish: $(Build.SourcesDirectory)/SMCEBI_Navigator/bin
  displayName: Publish full compiled app
  artifact: '$(Build.BuildNumber)_${{ parameters.framework }}'

- pwsh: Write-Host "##vso[task.setvariable variable=outputArtifactName;isOutput=true]$(Build.BuildNumber)_${{ parameters.framework }}"
  displayName: Export artifact name to pipeline

- pwsh: Write-Host $(properties.outputArtifactName)
  displayName: Echo outputted name

GitHub Release job:

- pwsh: Write-Host $(outputArtifactName)
  displayName: Export artifact name to pipeline

- pwsh: Write-Host $(parameters.artifactName)
  displayName: Parameters name

- download: current
  displayName: Download artifact $(parameters.artifactName)
  artifact: $(parameters.artifactName)

- task: GitHubRelease@1
  inputs:
    repositoryName: $(Build.Repository.Name)
    target: $(Build.SourceVersion)
    tagSource: userSpecifiedTag
    tag: $(currentVersionName)
    gitHubConnection: GitHub_ikarmus2001
    action: create
    assets: $(Pipeline.Workspace)
    isDraft: true

- pwsh: Write-Host $(outputArtifactName)
  displayName: Export artifact name to pipeline

- pwsh: Write-Host $(parameters.artifactName)
  displayName: Parameters name

- download: current
  displayName: Download artifact $(parameters.artifactName)
  artifact: $(parameters.artifactName)

- task: GitHubRelease@1
  inputs:
    repositoryName: $(Build.Repository.Name)
    target: $(Build.SourceVersion)
    tagSource: userSpecifiedTag
    tag: $(currentVersionName)
    gitHubConnection: GitHub_ikarmus2001
    action: create
    assets: $(Pipeline.Workspace)
    isDraft: true

Pipeline itself:

variables:
  - name: WindowsArtifactName
  value: ''

stages:
  - template: templates/appCompilation.yml
    parameters:
      outputArtifactName: $(WindowsArtifactName)

  - stage: Deployment
    jobs:  
      - template: templates/GithubReleaseJob.yml
        parameters:
          artifactName: $[WindowsArtifactName]

variables:
  - name: WindowsArtifactName
  value: ''

stages:
  - template: templates/appCompilation.yml
    parameters:
      outputArtifactName: $(WindowsArtifactName)

  - stage: Deployment
    jobs:  
      - template: templates/GithubReleaseJob.yml
        parameters:
          artifactName: $[WindowsArtifactName]

Both template jobs (compilation and github release) has parameters as follows:

parameters:
- name: artifactName
  type: string

parameters:
- name: artifactName
  type: string

parameters:
  - name: outputArtifactName
    type: string

parameters:
  - name: outputArtifactName
    type: string

What am I doing wrong? I was reading some questions on stack, ms docs ( setvariable, Outputting variables ) , but can't figure out what is wrong here. If any more info is needed, I will be very happy to provide it

Azure Devops - passing variables between job templates

Normal (non-template) jobs in Azure DevOps yaml support inter-job variable passing as follows: jobs: - job: A steps: - script: "echo ##vso[task.setvariable variable=skipsubsequent;isOutput=true]

Define variables - Azure Pipelines

Variables are name-value pairs defined by you for use in a pipeline. You can use variables as inputs to tasks and in your scripts.

Has anyone used catthinking

Why doesn't my code work? C# is a big area! No one knows they can help unless you tell them about the small area you're trying to work in. Explain what you are doing, and potentially why for as much context as possible. Avoid screenshots where possible, share code directly in Discord. Type $code into chat to learn how to post code. See https://www.nohello.net and https://dontasktoask.com if you want common help chat room etiquette. Sorry, I couldn't find help related to "commands".
