I am using 3 CI Pipeline which mapping into one Release Pipeline, on each CI Pipeline created some artifacts. In running process of release pipeline some artefacts can are update (other CI pipeline was run), and i want use update version.
In running process of release pipeline use update version of artifacts.
I'm afraid what you want is not supported yet cause Azure Devops Service doesn't support to change the artifacts version after the release is created.
Here is a doc about the release artifacts:
After a release is created, you cannot change these versions. A
release is fundamentally defined by the versioned artifacts that make
up the release. As you deploy the release to various stages, you will
be deploying and validating the same artifacts in all stages.
If you want to use the latest version of artifacts, you need to create a new release.

All the project builds for release 3 have been tagged with relese3. Out of 100 projects I'm not sure which ones are release3. I need to group all the build artifacts from each project tagged with release3 into one release pipeline. Is there a way to add build artifacts to a release by just build artifact tag?
Don't know which projects are tagged release3:
Is there any way to group build artifacts from multiple projects into one release pipeline by just build artifact tag?
Or can one release pipeline just use the Azure Trigger Pipeline task to trigger all project release pipelines with a build tag of release3?
How To Group Azure DevOps Build Artifacts From Multiple Projects Into One Release Pipeline By Just Build Artifact Tag
I am afraid there is no such way to do this at this moment.
As we know, in the release pipeline, we need to specify the pipeline which need to be deployed.
We cannot leave the option source(build definition) blank (it is required). in addition,
If this function is supported, there will be a certain risk, because the release pipeline is directly related to production, and tags are used to bind all related build pipelines, which makes if our development engineers accidentally use the wrong tag, or in the wrong If the tag is added to the pipeline, the wrong build artifact will be released to the actual production environment because the pipeline is not clearly specified in the release pipeline. will cause losses.

I have an Azure DevOps classic release pipeline
There are 2 artifacts (type build) with continuous deployment trigger enabled, and 2 stages
Each stage has an "after release" trigger with an artifact filter, to the respective build artifact.
The builds are for different repos.
However, both stage are being triggered when every build artifact is created, even when I manually create a release...
Expected behavior is:
Build A completes, only stage A is triggered
Build B completes, only stage B is triggered
When I manually create a release, I would like to choose which stage will be triggered. If this is not possible, the trigger both stages
Is this a bug or am I missing something?
Azure DevOps Classic Release - Artifact Filter always triggering release
For this issue ,I am afraid that it is currently not supported in azure devops. If you want different artifacts to trigger the deployment of different rows of stages respectively, it is better to create two pipelines, set the artifact in each pipeline to trigger the deployment on the required stages.
And you could check this topic on developer community
Sorry I should have clarified a bit more. I don't think that triggers will solve all use cases, but having triggers on stages would at least allow you to have the following:
Stage A has trigger /src/appA
Stage B has trigger /src/appB
If you commited (script, code, etc.) to /src/appB, it should use previous artifacts and only build appB and further if requested.
If you think that two artifacts only trigger a part of the pipeline is necessary, you could submit a feature request in our Develop Community site. Our PM and product team will kindly review your suggestion.
The current scenario is I want a Release Pipeline that has multiple artifacts (one function and several apis). Each one with a cd trigger except for the one to prod which is manual for right now.
In the pipeline is there a way to prevent a particular job from running if deployed pipeline is the same as the original?
For example, a change is made to one of the apis but the rest remain the same I would want the release to get created and deployed but only run the deployment job linked to that particular artifact.
The reason being is that for a deployment to production it would be nice to have all the artifacts I'm looking to deploy in one place and all I would have to do to deploy to prod would be hitting deploy and if the latest artifact is newer then the one deployed it gets deployed but if it is not that deployment would be skipped.
Right now each artifact is in a separate release pipeline and each gets deployed separately, which means we are keeping a separate document with a list of all the release pipelines that needing to be deployed for a specific set of changes.
Any direction would be appreciated, thanks in advance.
I think you can do that with multi-stages and triggers. You can follow these steps:
Create a release pipeline.
Add all your artifacts.
Create multiple stages. According to your requirement, you may need as many stages as your artifacts.
Set triggers for each stage. Click on the lightning icon to the left of the stage. In "Triggers", select "Afer release". Then enable the "Artifact filters". Choose the artifacts that correspond to this stage as the trigger. Here is an example:
Then your release pipeline will be look like this:
When an artifact changes, the corresponding stages will be triggered, and no other stages will run.
It doesn't work. If an artifact is changed it doesnt checked that the artifact is newer
I have a build pipeline with 2 publish artifacts.
In my release pipeline i want to download just the first artifact.
I know that it should be possible as I have read here
In Azure Pipelines, you can, however, select which artifacts you want to download to the agent for a specific job and stage of the deployment. Typically, you will do this to improve the efficiency of the deployment pipeline when the tasks in that job do not require all or any of the artifacts, or if you implement custom code in a task to download the artifacts you require.
but I cant find it...
This is how the release job details look like:
as you can see the artifact selection is missing.
here is how I configured the artifact in the release pipe:
apparently there is an issue with on premiss none NTLM agents.
https://developercommunity.visualstudio.com/content/problem/520932/azure-devops-server-2019-where-is-partially-downlo.html
Partial artifacts feature isn't enabled by default in Azure DevOps Server 2019. We have an issue with "Download Build artifacts" not working with NTLM based proxy hence we couldn't roll out this feature to OnPremise customers.
I created an azure build pipe line and published the artifacts. While releasing I want to know the artifact is created or not. How to check the availability of Published Pipeline Artifacts in azure pipeline release
How to check availability of Published Pipeline Artifacts in azure pipeline release
Since you have published the artifacts, you do not need to check the availability of Published Pipeline Artifacts in azure pipeline release on purpose.
That because the built-in Download Artifacts will check and download the Pipeline Artifacts in azure pipeline when your release source type is Build:
Besides, if you want to manually check the the availability of Published Pipeline Artifacts in azure pipeline release, you could use the Download Build Artifacts task to download the artifact to check it.
Hope this helps.
