How to manually start $(Rev:r) counter from specific number?

Question

Say, I have a library which is already version 1.0.15

I migrate my build process to Azure DevOps, and want auto increment of build number. So in the build pipeline options, I set Build number format to 1.0.$(Rev:r).

But now it starts making builds at 1.0.1

So how do I artificially increment this to 15?

Answer 1

Add a variable in your build definition like this: And then set the Build Number Format like following:

You will get the counter to start from 15.
