Gitlab CI use export variable

Question

Is there any way to use an export variable, defined in the generic before_script:

before_script:
- export UPPERHASH=$(echo $CI_COMMIT_REF_SLUG | md5sum | tr [a-z] [A-Z])

into another job as a variable, because I am gonna use trigger but trigger does not allow to have any script, ex:

test variables:
  stage: test-variables
  variables:
    UPPERHASH_TEST1: $UPPERHASH
  trigger:
    project: "...\..."

I have tried multiple options but none of them is working.

It will not work this way because "test variables".variables is processed before before_script

You only can refer to this variable in a script:

test variables:
  stage: test-variables
  script:
    UPPERHASH_TEST1=$UPPERHASH
    ... trigger other project from command line ...
