Azure DevOps Release pipeline with multiple artifacts and stages

Question

Is it possible to have a single release pipeline with multiple artifacts that will trigger separate stages conditionally.

Example:

BuildPipelineA builds /PathA from AppRepo, Dev branch and publishes the artifact ArtifactA. ArtifactA should be deployed to stage A.

BuildPipelineB builds /PathB from AppRepo, Dev branch and publishes the artifact ArtifactB. ArtifactB should be deployed to stage B.

Both the artifacts are in one release pipeline and the problem I have is when I queue the build for BuildPipelineA, after the successful build, the release pipeline is created and ArtifactA is deployed to Stage A, Artifact B (last successful build artifact) is deployed to stage B.

What I am trying to achieve is, since BuildPipelineB is not triggered and no latest Artifact B is published, it should not be deployed to stage B when ArtifactA triggered the release and vice versa

Based on your description about the situation(same repo, same branch), I am afraid that there is no such built-in feature can directly meet your requirements.

For a workaround, you can set the condition in Stage -> Jobs.

You can use this variable to make judgments : RELEASE.TRIGGERINGARTIFACT.ALIAS.

It represents the artifact name that triggered the release.

Here is an example:

Release Stages:

Condition: eq(variables['RELEASE.TRIGGERINGARTIFACT.ALIAS'], '_PipelineA')

When the Pipeline A, trigger the Pipeline, it will run the agent job in Stage1 and it will skip the agent job in Stage2.

It is supported to have multiple artifacts in one CD and have only a specific artifact been deployed to one stage.

Here is photo, select from multiple artifacts which one you want to be included in deployment to azure resource.
