Please provide us with the following information:

This issue is for a: (mark with an x)

- [ X ] bug report -> please search issues before submitting
- [ ] feature request
- [ X ] documentation issue or request
- [ ] regression (a behavior that used to work and stopped in a new release)

Minimal steps to reproduce

Deploy the ARM template that creates slots: https://github.com/Azure-Samples/function-app-arm-templates/tree/main/function-app-deployment-slot According to the documentation: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-functions/functions-app-settings#website_contentshare "Not setting WEBSITE_CONTENTSHARE is the recommended approach for an ARM template deployment."

If a anyone use the sample on a CI/CD deployment and then they perform a swap between the slots, the staging content share will be always used to deploy new code.

Behavior: Deploy to staging->Swap->The code is now in production, old code goes to staging->We perform another deployment running incremental mode->The slot content share is staging again, the code is deploy to this content share->Swap->Code is updated on prod but never on staging

Any log messages given by the failure

N/A

Expected/desired behavior

Deploy to staging->Swap->The code is now in production, old code goes to staging->We perform another deployment running incremental mode->The slot content share keeps as the previous value since we are not specifying it on the ARM template, the code gets deployed to staging->Swap->Code is updated on prod and current prod code goes to staging

Mention any other details that might be useful

azuredeploy.json file

remove: { "name": "WEBSITE_CONTENTSHARE", "value": "[variables('slotContentShareName')]" }, { "name": "WEBSITE_CONTENTSHARE", "value": "[toLower(parameters('functionAppName'))]" },
