Hi,

I'm trying to use variable in UCM Make Baseline action to set the clearquest activities.But it does'nt work. When I checked the cleartool command that is generated by builder from logs, the variable is passed as a parameter without its value, only name. The command looks like this cleartool mkbl&nbsp;-nc -activities activity:%ActivityList%,&nbsp; but I expect to see the command as cleartool mkbl -nc -activities activity:HBTR0001051@/PVOB activity:HBTR00001052@/PVOB activity:HBTR00001053@/PVOB. (I log the values of variables and the ActivityList variable has the rigth value. )

Is it possible to set the activity list by using variables?

Hi Serhat,   
  
 Here’s a new build of FinalBuilder which will allow you to use variables in the activity list, you will need to set the variable to contain the list of activities, with one activity per line.

 Paul.
