Hello,  
  
I would like to have the TFS branch of the running build into a variable in finalbuilder.  
Is there a way to do this?  
  
Thanks,  
Jan-Paul

Hi Jan-Paul,  
  
Yes. You can use the [object expression](http://wiki.finalbuilder.com/display/continua/Expression+Objects#ExpressionObjects-repository) $Source.RepoName.Branch$ to get the branch for a particular build repository in Continua CI. &nbsp;  
  
To pass this to FinalBuilder, add “FBVariableName = $Source.TFSTest.Branch$” to the Variables input box for the FinalBuilder action in Continua CI. Note that FBVariableName refers to the name of a variable defined in your FinalBuilder project.
