Azure DevOps yaml passing variable using vso task setvariable not working

Question

I'm trying to convert parameter envList to individual env names in the next yaml step (code below). envList = "NameDevEnv, NameQAEnv, NameStageEnv, NameProdEnv" envList = "NameDevEnv, NameQAEnv, NameStageEnv, NameProdEnv"

I'm trying to pass NameDevEnv, NameQAEnv, NameStageEnv, and NameProdEnv to separate yaml variables/parameters, and then pass these names to templates such that those envs are produced with the given names.

You can stop the pipeline from running by turning off the agents.

Go to Project Settings—>Select the agent pool -->

Go to Agents tab-->Disable all the agents.

Disable all agents under the Agents tab.

$PAT="Personal Access Token"

$base64AuthInfo= [System.Convert]::ToBase64String([System.Text.Encoding]::ASCII.GetBytes(":$($PAT)"))

#list build definiations api
$url = "https://dev.azure.com/org/proj/_apis/build/definitions?api-version=6.1-preview.7"

#list all build definitions
$AllDefinitons = Invoke-RestMethod -Uri $url1 -Headers @{Authorization = ("Bearer {0}" -f $base64AuthInfo)} -Method get

#get all the definition ids
$Ids = $AllDefinitons.value | select id

foreach($id in $Ids){
 
   $definitionUrl="https://dev.azure.com/org/proj/_apis/build/definitions/$($id.id)?api-version=6.1-preview.7"

   #get the definition of each build pipeline
   $definiton = Invoke-RestMethod -Uri $definitionUrl-Headers @{Authorization = ("Bearer {0}" -f $base64AuthInfo)} -Method get

   #set queueStatus to paused
   $definiton.queueStatus= "paused"

   #update the definition
   Invoke-RestMethod -Uri $definitionUrl-Headers @{Authorization = ("Basic {0}" -f $base64AuthInfo)} -Method put -Body (ConvertTo-Json $definiton-Depth 100) -ContentType "application/json"
