Research direction

Start with latest/docs-ref-autogen/pipelines/variable-group.yml, which generates the az pipelines variable-group documentation linked in the issue. Check the variable format guidance against the reported behavior, then update the documentation so normal variables are described accurately and verify the generated page reflects the correction.

Description

act-platform-engineering-squad customer-reported DevOps question Service Attention

The documentation claims: Variables in format key=value space separated pairs. Secret variables should be managed using az pipelines variable-group variable commands.

However, when doing so, those variables are created under one variable, they are not parsed and created separately.
