Hi Venkatesh,

Thanks for getting in touch! Scripting the creation of prompted variables is a bit more complex than it is for standard project/library variables. The closest sample script I’ve been able to find is the following comment from Henrik at this old thread (maybe it’s one you already saw?).

Unfortunately I haven’t had a chance to give this a test, but I’d be very interested to hear if that helps get you going.

Additionally, we have a public sample script repository which might help give you a head start. The following creates an environment-scoped project variable via the REST API.

github.com

OctopusDeploy/OctopusDeploy-Api/blob/master/REST/PowerShell/Variables/CreateEnvironmentScopedVariables.ps1

$baseUri = "http://output.url"           # the address of your octopus server

$apiKey = "API-APIKEYAPIKEYAPIKEY"           # an api-key from an account with permissions to create
                                             # variables on the environment you specify

$projectName = "Project Name" # If you don't know your project Id add your project name here
                              # and the script will print out your project Id on the first run,
                              # then you can add it below

$projectId = ""               # set this if you know it, the script will run faster if it has
                              # a projectId, otherwise it will look up the project using its name

$environment = "Production"   # the name of the environment you want to scope the variables to

$variablesToAdd = "First", "Second", "Third"  #all the variables you want to createe

function Get-OctopusResource([string]$uri) {
    Write-Host "[GET]: $uri"
    return Invoke-RestMethod -Method Get -Uri "$baseUri/$uri" -Headers $headers
}

Let me know how you go, or if you have any further questions or concerns.

Best regards,

Kenny
