Copyright does not parse date.

[markjourdan]

I'm trying to set the Copyright field to "Copyright © $(Year:yyyy)". It doesn't seem to parse the $(Year:yyyy).

Is there a way to have it parse the year on the Copyright field?

Environment:

• I am using the hosted VisualStudio.COM TFS Repository. TFS 2017 (15.112.26307.0)
• Current agent version: '2.115.0'

Hi Mark,

sorry for the late response. Some variables are still not properly expanded by the tf build environment. I can recommend to use the Variable Toolbox to work around this issue.
With this task you can create your own variables like $(My.Year), which you can then use in the AssemblyInfo task.
It can be found here: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=jessehouwing.jessehouwing-vsts-variable-tasks

Hope that helps!
