Access GitVersion variables in different azure devops pipeline jobs

[niko124a]

Hi

I have my azure devops pipeline like this

trigger:
- develop
- feature/*

pool:
  vmImage: 'windows-2019'

variables:
  solutionFolder: 'Source'
  solution: '$(solutionFolder)/XXXX.sln'
  buildPlatform: 'Any CPU'
  buildConfiguration: 'Release'

resources:
  repositories:
    - repository: templates #the name used to reference this resource
      type: git #the type for azure git repos
      name: XXXX/Pipeline-templates #the azure git repo name
      ref: refs/heads/main

jobs:
- template: azure-pipelines-gitversion-template.yml@templates
  parameters:
    gitToolsConfigFilePath: 'XXXX/GitVersion.yml'

- job: BuildAndUnitTests
...

- template: azure-pipelines-create-version-tag-template.yml@templates
  parameters:
    jobDependencyName: 'BuildAndUnitTests'

My azure-pipelines-create-version-tag-template.yml look like this

parameters:
- name: jobDependencyName
  type: string
  default: ''


jobs:
- job: CreateVersionTag
  steps:
  - checkout: self
    persistCredentials: true
  - ${{ if startsWith(variables['Build.SourceBranch'], 'refs/heads/master') }}:
      - pwsh: |
          $buildNumber = $env:Build_BuildNumber
          Write-Output "Try to tag - Fingers crossed"
          if (git tag | select-string "$buildNumber") {
              Write-Output "tag already exists for $buildNumber. I will do absolutely nothing about it and assume everything is good"
          }
          else {
              git tag "$buildNumber"
              git push origin "$buildNumber"
              Write-Output "Tagging $(Build.Repository.Name) with $buildNumber"
        
          }
  dependsOn:
  - ${{ parameters.jobDependencyName }}
  condition: in(dependencies.${{ parameters.jobDependencyName }}.result, 'Succeeded', 'SucceededWithIssues')

I want to access GitVersion variable MajorMinorPatch inside my CreateVersionTag job.

Do anyone know how I can do this or if it is even possible?
I have already tried replacing $buildNumber with $(GitVersion.MajorMinorPatch) and $(GitVersion_MajorMinorPatch) without success.

I can access the variable just fine within my other template, which is where I have the gitversion/setup@0 and gitversion/execute@0 tasks.

I don't use AzDO myself, but in GitHub Actions you have to explicitly export output variables from a job in order to consume them from another job. Is something like that possible in AzDO, perhaps?
