Azure devops release edit bulk 110 - azure

Question

Hello I have 145 releases
And I have to do an equal action for everyone for example add a certain variable and edit a certain line.
Is there a way to control everyone with a script?
I checked for a template, but it creates the release from 0 and does not edit it.
Can a script in PS or Python be a solution? I did not find any information on Google about it, other than an export release template.

You could use the REST API Definitions - Update to update the release pipeline:
PUT https://vsrm.dev.azure.com/{organization}/{project}/_apis/release/definitions/{DefinitionsId}?api-version=6.0
And if we want to batch modify the release pipeline, we need to get each ID of the release pipeline with REST API Definitions - List:
GET https://vsrm.dev.azure.com/{organization}/{project}/_apis/release/definitions?api-version=6.0
Then we could iterate through each Rlease ID obtained.
I provide a rough code for your better reading:
$connectionToken="PAT"
$base64AuthInfo= [System.Convert]::ToBase64String([System.Text.Encoding]::ASCII.GetBytes(":$($connectionToken)"))
$ReleasePipelineUrl = "https://vsrm.dev.azure.com/{organization}/{project}/_apis/release/definitions?api-version=6.0"
Write-Host "URL: $ReleasePipelineUrl"
$ReleasePipelines = (Invoke-RestMethod -Uri $PipelineUrl -Method Get -UseDefaultCredential -Headers #{Authorization=("Basic {0}" -f $base64AuthInfo)})
$ReleasePipelinesId = $ReleasePipelines.value.id
Write-Host "ReleasePipelinesId = $ReleasePipelinesId"
ForEach ($Pt in $ReleasePipelinesId)
{
$baseUrl = "https://vsrm.dev.azure.com/{organization}/{project}/_apis/release/definitions/$($Pt)?api-version=6.0"
$pipeline = (Invoke-RestMethod -Uri $baseUrl -Method Get -UseDefaultCredential -Headers #{Authorization=("Basic {0}" -f $base64AuthInfo)})
Write-Host "URL: $baseUrl"
$pipeline.variables.TestValue.value = "$buildNumber"
####****************** update the modified object **************************
$json = #($pipeline) | ConvertTo-Json -Depth 99
Write-Host "URL: $json "
$updatedef = Invoke-RestMethod -Uri $url -Method Put -Body $json -ContentType "application/json" -Headers #{Authorization = "Bearer $env:SYSTEM_ACCESSTOKEN"}
write-host "=========================================================="
Write-host "The value of Varialbe 'TestValue' is updated to" $updatedef.variables.TestValue.value
}
