I was trying this scenario but I am not able to figure out
I have a name and value in parameter store in SSM, now I am running the CF template from CLI using code pipeline, and I want the CF template take values directly from parameter store and should not prompt
on screen asking me to give the value.
I tried this but it prompt me .
AWS::SSM::Parameter::value
this is prompting when I used to upload a template in screen. how to avoid it and make the script take the value from parameter store directly
You have two choices for that:
Provide a default value for the parameter.
Use ParameterOverrides in your CodePiepline to provide the required value for the parameter.

Currently I am integrating using Blazemeter plugin in azure devops for the JMeter script . I have one issue I am trying with different combination to pass the PreDefined variables in azure for JMeter . What I am trying is I am trying to pass the User Defined Variable of JMeter in Azure Pre-Defined Variable . But I am unable to do so . I have tried different combination , following pre-defined document . The reason to do so is . Suppose tomorrow any non technical person just want to run the script by just change the environment at predefined level in azure instead of changing them in JMeter User Defined Variable or you can say by making any change in the script of .jmx . I have tried different combination of integration of predefined . One of the combination i have shared with screenshot . If anyone have any idea please let me know . One more thing in Release.EnvironmentUri I have checked the release because of that I am able to send those value at run time ..
Let me elaborate more Here in this image. I have also shared the plugins I am using. .
I think you need to set an environment variable like below:
And in JMeter's User Defined Variables read the variable value using __groovy() function
${__groovy(System.getenv('Release.EnvironmentUri'),)}

I already followed these great instructions on how to dynamically create dialog node options from generic input and it's working like charm. But for now I cannot see how to hand over the chosen option value to the next node to process further. Is there any documentation how to pass the chosen option value to the child node?
You can store any selected option and other information in context variables. They are passed around and can be accessed in other nodes. The information is available until you unset or delete the context variable.
I have lots of URL values and their keys. But there is no way to batch import the variables and the "value" controls are also not text boxes in the Variables Group page to perform chrome browser extensions assisted find and replace.
If this is possible, what is the syntax to refer to the key?
As in, I have a variable App.URL : www.contoso.com.
I am using the key to substitute value in my next variable like this Login.URL : $(App.URL)\Login and this doesn't work.

This isn't currently available, not sure if it will be. Can you create a task early in your pipeline that sets the variables you need in subsequent tasks/steps? This gives you more control as you can store the script along with your source. You could then use a pipeline variable for the environment you're in and let your script use that to set values appropriately.
See Set variables in scripts in the MS docs.
If it's not possible to re-architect your app to concatenate the url strings in the application, what the previous commenter said about creating a simple script to do that for you would be the way to go. Ie:
#!/bin/bash
#full login url
fullLoginUrl=$APP.URL\$LOGINSUFFIX
echo "##vso[task.setvariable variable=Login.URL]$fullLoginUrl
Otherwise, perhaps playing around with the run time vs compile time variables in YAML pipelines might be worth trying.

Run dick gives us the ability to define options to be entered by the its GUI, is there any capability to have job variable based on the input without the end user of the job seeing it?
E.g, if the the user choose the product and the environment and the product behind LB, I want to use a script internally to define new job variable and assign it the port number that could be used later on within the job steps.
Yes, there is.
You can add a new option whith Allowed Values set to Remote URL, then put the URL to your script which will return the actual value based on other options.
For exmaple
http://localhost/cgi-bin/getPort.py?environment=${option.environment.value}&product=${option.product.value}

I have a txt file that is holding a string inside, I want to be able to use this string in one of my scripts, so I'm wondering if there is a way to set the content of the file as one of the build properties or parameters which I'll be able to use in my scripts it should be the same as using one of the build environment properties.
For example : ${JOB_NAME} which is holding the the job name, so in the same way I want to access the content of the file which is holding some value inside.
Is it possible?
You can upload a file from your computer to the workspace through the File parameter of the job.
You can use Extended Choice plugin parameter, to read value(s) from a file and display them in a dropdown/radio-button/checkbox for the user to select, dynamically, every time the build is triggered.
You can use EnvInject plugin to read value(s) from a file and inject them into the build as environment variables, so that they can be used by the rest of the build steps/scripts.
Your question is very unclear on what your are trying to do. Pick one of the 3 methods above based on what you need, or clarify your question.
