I have been working on the build and release pipelines for a while now, but ran into this issue lately
I am performing config transform on .net application. The issue i am running into is a bit strange .. Variable substitution doesn’t work if xml transformation is enabled too, but will work ONLY when variable substitution is enabled. I didn't knew this was possible, as per me Variable substitution would work after XML transformation is done. I want to use both the options. Like i want to transform the existing config file and then substitute the remaining values with pipeline variables & variable groups. That way i would have less involvement from other teams to get the transformation for all the values as i have a time crunch. Eventually would have everything transformed but for now i want to follow the above approach. The log does say Xml transformation and Variable substitution completed successful, but variable substitution doesn't happen.
Am i missing something very silly? Has anyone faced this kind of issue.

task. If yes, you could check the_temp
folder during the process of deployment. The conversion happens in this folder. You could refer to the answer. If there is any misunderstanding, please correct me. – Kevin Lu-MSFT
