Parameter Value Selection at runtime in Azure Pipeline

Saksham Gupta

Is there a way, we can define paramters in such a way in our YAML file so that at pipeine execution I will get check boxes for selection.

I believe, in Azure DevOps YAML pipelines, there isn't a direct way to have multiple checkboxes for selection using YAML parameters. However, you can achieve a similar result by using string parameters with predefined values.

Here's an example of how you can define multiple checkboxes using string parameters:
```
parameters:
- name: featureSelection
  displayName: 'Select Features'
  type: string
  default: 'FeatureA,FeatureB'
  values:
  - FeatureA
  - FeatureB
  - FeatureC
```

Boolean type parameter will give only one checkbox but what I need is multiple checkboxes. Is it possible OOB?

you can define parameters in YAML as below
```
parameters:
- name: booleanParam
  displayName: 'Enable Feature X'
  type: boolean
  default: false
```
In this example, booleanParam is defined as a boolean parameter, and its default value is false. When you trigger a pipeline run in Azure DevOps, you'll see a checkbox labeled "Enable Feature X" with the option to check or uncheck it.
