Tidying up the All and Variable Preview Pages

jeffrey.mitchell · 30 August 2021 15:32

Is it possible to tidy up the All and Variable Preview pages within a project? We have a few variables with extensive values, and the page has a wildly long horizontal scroll bar, which makes looking at Tags difficult, and matching up those tags to their variable/value combo can be tough. Is there a way to make these pages wrap properly, or to hide the values in an expandable box (like the Project Variables page does)?

Hi @jeffrey.mitchell,

Thanks for getting in touch with us over your issue, and sorry to hear you’re experiencing that undesired behavior.

Unfortunately, this is a known issue but you can find more information on it here:

As an alternative, we do have a Powershell script that you might find useful in working around this issue:

github.com

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

#Returns the variable value based on space. If you want the variable scoped, you must provide environment name and spaceId
Function Get-VariableValue {
    param(
        $Options,
        $VariableSet,
        $VariableName,
        $Environment
    )

    $outputVariable = $null
    $envScopeValueSet = $False
    $foundEnvironmentWithinVariable = $false

    if ($Environment) {
        $environmentList = Invoke-RestMethod "$($Options.OctopusUrl)/environments/all" -Headers $Options.Headers
        $environment = $environmentList | Where-Object { $_.Name -eq $environment }
        $environmentId = $environment.Id
    }

    #Find matching varable by name

I hope this is helpful, and sorry I don’t have better news. If you have any additional questions or other items I can help with, please let me know.

Best,
Patrick
