Allow outputs from a blueprint assignment

[pbalexlear]

Hello, would it be possible to add the functionality to output variables etc like you can from arm templates but as part of an assignation instead?

I will leave this open as an enhancement. It is a good suggestion, but this is not something we are likely to get to.

This is absolutely fantastic idea, especially for CI/CD

For example, I am creating a resource group with a name defined as
[concat(parameters('g_Environment_Name'),'-',parameters('g_Project_Name'),'-App-rg')].

I'm using assignment file which is updated during each stage, based on the library variables.
After the assignment completes, I would like to use the name of the resource group in AZsK task.

@kkazala you can do this by querying the blueprints api to get the objects and resource groups it created i think its the assignment you need to do a get on.

Hi, @alex-frankel
I am trying to get outputs from an assignment in the following way,

1. List assignment operations based on assignment name,
2. Get deployment reference from deployments job, properties.deployments.requestUri - https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/blueprints/assignmentoperations/list#assignment-at-subscription-scope
3. Return outputs based on deployment reference,
4. However sometimes, I am getting properties.deployments.requestUri as null in 2. step, and there is no deployment reference. Is it some issue related to listing assignment operations REST API or I am doing something wrong? Thanks in advance!
