I would like to use a common pipeline definition for our solutions. Using variables, I would like to specify solution specific settings. This works, except for a variable group.

I would like to use the pipeline definition in my variable group definition.
For example:

> 
> * group: $(Build.DefinitionName).Dev
>

But that does not work. Another option would be to use a pipeline variable, but neither does work:

> 
> * group: $(buildDefinitonName).Dev
> * group: {{ variables.buildDefinitonName }}.Dev
> 
> 
> 

What does work is a parameter, but I do not want to specify it for each run.

> 
> * group: ${{ parameters.buildDefinition }}.Dev
>
