Is there a way to set the allowed values of a parameter in Azure DevOps using some kind of a variable? For example, let's say we have this parameter in 100 different pipelines:
parameters:
- name: value
type: string
values: [value1, value2, value3, value4, value5, value6, value7]
I want to be able store the values array below somewhere global.
The only way that have worked so far is a script that over-writes all the parameters with a specific name. For example:
Here is what hasn't worked:
variables:
- group: variable-group
parameters:
- name: value
type: string
values: [${{ variables.valueList }}]
parameters:
template: values.yml
OR:
extend: values.yml
With values.yml:
parameters:
- name: value
type: string
values: [value1, value2, value3, value4, value5, value6, value7]
It's also important that those values are visible when triggering the pipeline manually.
Anchors aren't supported by ADO. Any other ideas?

I am afraid that Azure DevOps doesn't support using variable value in the value of the parameters.
Currently, only hard-coded Parameter values are supported in Azure Pipeline.
On the other hand, the parameters field in the main yaml cannot use template. And if you define the parameters in template, it can not be seen when manually running the Pipeline.
In all, your requirement cannot be met for the time being.
I can fully understand your requirement. You can submit a suggest ticket in the site: Developer Community to report this feature.
