I set up a solution with a few environment variables all with names and descriptions

some have default values and some are getting their value because I checked the box of exporting from dev.

I have set up a pipeline to get my solution from dev to test and the deployment works as expected the only problem I expect is that the screen where my pipeline asks me to fill in the information for the variables is not showing any descriptions so I can't tell which input field belongs to which variable.

Am I missing someting or how is this supposed to work?

It looks like you have correctly configured the environment variables and the pipeline, but you are facing a problem with the display of the variable descriptions in the pipeline input screen. Here are some possible causes and solutions for this problem:

Possible Causes and Solutions

Pipeline Configuration:

Cause: The pipeline configuration may not be correctly linked to the environment variable descriptions.

Solution: Review the pipeline configuration to ensure that the environment variable descriptions are correctly defined and linked. Make sure that the descriptions are correctly saved in the configuration file or in the user interface of the CI/CD tool you are using.

CI/CD tool:

Cause: Some CI/CD tools may have limitations or require additional configuration to display environment variable descriptions.

Workaround: Consult the documentation for the CI/CD tool you are using (e.g. Jenkins, GitLab CI, Azure DevOps, etc.) to verify if there are specific settings required to display environment variable descriptions in the input screen.

Configuration File Format:

Cause: The environment variable configuration file format may not be correctly structured.
