Suggestion for variables

Hi,

I would be very nice if i could use format strings for variables as in finalbuilder. E.g. our buildnumber must have always 2 digits minimum (01).

The other thing which would be very good if you could have persistent variable like in fb. The finalbuilder server had the limitation that you couldn’t change the default value of a prompted variable during the build. It was very helpful in FinalBuilder that you could save the variable and prompt with the current value %variable%.

Hi davex,

I’ll add the request for format strings to the to-do list.

The issue with persisting variables in Continua is that builds can run concurrently and it can be a matter of timing as to whether a build picks up a variable stored by a earlier build. We are nevertheless planning to implement variable persistance. This is a high priority feature as it has been requested several times.
