Change variables in manual action

[Andy]

Hi,

Is it possible to change a variable value in a manual action?

We want to include a last step to check if the deployment was OK. It is kind of deployment check.

The idea is to execute a specific step if there is any problem after the deployment. The steps that I thought to achieve this are:

• In BM: Create a manual action, that will send a message to a specific user;
• Manual: The user will check what was deployed and then mark the action as completed;
• BM: Create another step that will check the previous manual step
• BM: If there is a problem, do something, else just finish the build.

Is there another way to achieve this besides the manual action?

Thanks

Off the top of my head, that seems like the best/easiest way. I think what we need to add is the ability to mark a manual action "incomplete" instead of forcing the user to cancel the deployment... that should make it easy then to create a Predicate that checks whether all manual actions were marked complete. I'll add these as feature requests for the time being, but am not sure when they will be shipped since your scenario should work fine for now.
