[FIXED] How to consume variables from CI pipeline into CD pipeline directly

Issue

How can I consume variables set in CI pipeline directly in CD pipeline?

Example: If there are multiply variables declared in one group. How to access particular variable in CI/CD pipeline?

Also how to use variable groups for multiple keyvault's?

Thank you
