azure devops pipeline loop task

Question

I have this variable

Write-Host "##vso[task.setvariable variable=others_sql_server;]$others_sql_server"

Its value is for example "aaa|bbb|ccc". I would like to use it for looping a task

- ${{ each dbi in split(variables.others_sql_server, '|') }}:
    - task: PowerShell@2
      displayName: "XXXXX"
      inputs:

This does not work. Any solution?

Nope, for-each loops can only be applied on parameters, not on outputs/variables from previous jobs since those could not be compiled at time of pipeline start.

You'll probably need to create a custom script and do a loop in there and apply your logic.
