Updating project level variable in yaml file

GitLab CI/CD
1

Hi,

We have a project level variable (Commit_Id) that we would like to update in our yaml file if the pipeline job is successful. We’ve tried updating the variable in our after script ( export Commit_Id=$CI_COMMIT_SHA) in the below code snippet, but the variable is not getting updated . Is there a different syntax we should be using? Thank you.

Validate-Dev:
  image: node:latest

  tags:

    - gitlab-org
   
  stage: validate

  only:

    - /^Develop$/i

  except:
    variables:
      - $SANDBOX_DISABLED

  script:
    - authenticate SANDBOX $Test_env
    - echo y | sfdx plugins:install sfdx-git-delta
    - sfdx sgd:source:delta --to "HEAD" --from "${Commit_Id}" --output Delta
    - sfdx force:source:deploy -x Delta/package/package.xml -u SANDBOX -c

  after_script:

   - >
     if [ $CI_JOB_STATUS == 'success' ]; then
        export Commit_Id=$CI_COMMIT_SHA

     else
        echo 'Pipeline encountered an error'
      fi

I’m not sure if this is efficient or best practice, but we were able to update the variable using a curl put request.

  after_script:
   - echo jobStatus $CI_JOB_STATUS
   - echo commitIdAfterscriptCurrent ${Commit_Id}
   - echo commitIdSHA $CI_COMMIT_SHA 
   - >
     if [ $CI_JOB_STATUS == 'success' ]; then
        curl --request PUT --header "PRIVATE-TOKEN: ${pToken}" \
        "https://gitlab.com/api/v4/projects/{Project Id} /variables/Commit_Id"  --form "value=$CI_COMMIT_SHA"
  
     
  
     else
        echo 'Pipeline encountered an error'
      fi
