I’m currently working on a project which is deploying ARM templates using the in built step. We’ve made some modifications to our instance including adding some new environments and tweaking our default lifecycle, since doing this none of the variables in our JSON template are being replaced. This includes scoped and unscoped variables. Is there a step we are missing out or is there a place we can see some more detailed logging about the variable substitution process to help us in debug?

If you don’t think that is the issue, you can write Octopus variables to the deployment log by adding the following variables to your project:
