title: Azure Task Group deployment through release - How to get Azure Function App deployment output url 'AppServiceApplicationUrl' for later smoke test task
body: <p>I've created a task group which deploys an Azure Function App which normally in a normal release pipeline (not a task group), it gives you the option of naming this variable on the panel which opens on the right hand side:
  <a href="https://i.stack.imgur.com/ieGhK.png" rel="nofollow noreferrer">output variable</a></p>
  <p>But when an azure function app task is contained within a task group, it gives you no option to create an output variable.</p>
  <p>I was wondering if theres a way I can capture that output variable so I can later use it as a variable in a later task within the same task group?</p>
