Accessing container resource variables in Azure Devops YAML Pipeline

Using Azure Devops YAML Pipelines and trying to have a pipeline trigger on a container being pushed to an ACR.

According to the documentation in the link below, I should be able to access the tag and other information related to the image using variables like RESOURCES_CONTAINER_IDENTIFIER_TAG that should be available.

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/pipelines/process/resources?view=azure-devops&tabs=schema

However, I see no trace of variables from Containers or Repositories. It works fine with Pipelines and I haven't tested Builds. To be clear, the pipeline is triggered fine but inside the pipeline I cannot see which tag triggered it.

So is there something special that needs to be done here or is it released in the documentation but not working yet?

Just as the document states:

resources.container.<Alias>.tag is what you want and it should work because this feature is supported since Sprint 159. (Now it's Sprint 164.)

Sample yaml:

resources:
  containers:
  - container: ACRResource1
    type: ACR
    azureSubscription: ARM
    resourceGroup: xxx
    registry: xxx
    repository: xxx/docker-acr:v1-tag
  - container: ACRResource2
    type: ACR
    azureSubscription: ARM
    resourceGroup: xxx
    registry: xxx
    repository: xxx/docker-acr

Sample output:

resources.container.ACRResource1.tag = v1-tag
resources.container.ACRResource2.tag = v10-tag  (latest tag value)

Make sure you configured the yaml and settings well and created valid service connections.
