Lazy Loading Vars

[pixie79]

Given the task file below I would love to be able to run task list-prepared-statements and have it first run the department of list-work-groups before it trys to evaluate the output into the var WORK_GROUPS. Either that or better still a way to capture the output of the first task as a var for future use.

Thanks

Hi, you will be able to use the dotnet env method (immediately in your case) or with deps with PR #2711.
