Hi all!
I have a project called ‘test’ (gitlab). Option “Update Revision on Launch” has been filled up.
I have a source called ‘test-source’. Options “Overwrite|Overwrite variables|Update on launch” have been filled up.
When I am doing some changes in group variables everything is going well and smoothly. The problem is with variables for ‘all’.
Any ideas on how to cope with that?
