WebJob cannot be added from portal if deployment form source control is configured

Question

WebJob cannot be added from portal if deployment form source control is configured.

We assume that this is a new feature hence the spelling is incorrect: 'deployment form source control' should be 'deployment from source control'.

I have no clue where to set a setting that solved this.

It has to be somewhere in DevOps we assume.

In DevOps

• In your build pipeline Important Notice: add the following Argument: --output $(build.artifactstagingdirectory) to the build step.

• In your release pipeline

This deploys the WebJob to the correct directory. In our case: $(System.DefaultWorkingDirectory)/_ms-reporting-webjob-dev-CI/drop

Having a look at the Kudo Console in our App Service the file location for our WebJob is:
