Variables in Resources:Repositories:Repository:Ref

Hi blashmet ,

Thanks for your great question. I see in your example that in the Manual case your reference SourceBranchName and in the PR case your reference targetBranch without the Name suffix in the variable name. In the documentation on system variables it describes how the `System.PullRequest.targetBranchName` variable contains the branch name and the `System.PullRequest.TargetBranch` variable contains the full ref. This behaviour is the same for the `Build.SourceBranch` and `Build.SourceBranchName` variables. Where again the first contains the full ref and the other just the branch name.

So in your case I would try to use `System.PullRequest.targetBranchName` instead of `System.PullRequest.targetBranch`. Hope that helps in solving your issue.
