Azure DevOps treats colons as separators

Severity

Version

2023.1 (Note this is an old issue that didn't have a corresponding Github issue)

What happened?

When trying to populate a prompted variable from the Azure Dev Ops pipeline task "Deploy Octopus Release" if you have a colon in the value you wish to populate it does not push the full value to Octopus.

Reproduction

Deployment requires a prompted variable that is a string. Customer needs a URL passing through. They put "https://website.com/" in the "Values for prompted variables" on the "Deploy Ocotpus Release" task. When that value is then read in Octopus only "https" remains.

Workaround

To note, this functionality works fine the OctoCLI. (e.g. "--variable Prompted:https://urltest/" populates the full URL value into Octopus).
