Starting a build number from a specific number

I just migrated some builds from bamboo over to azure devops and I need to get the build numbers in ado to start from a specific number, for example last build in bamboo was 50, I need the first build in ado to be 51. How can I accomplish this via yaml pipeline?

Can I do someting like name: $(last.bamboo.build)+$(Rev:r)?

Thanks all in advance.

To further elaborate on @Krzysztof's answer, the name property determines the build-number format, but this can be changed at run-time by updating the updatebuildnumber variable as shown.

According to the screenshot in this SO answer, this will actually update the pipeline run name as well.

If you want to have simple number versioning and continue it from certain number you can do it like this:

name: $(Rev:r)

steps:
- script: echo '$(Build.BuildNumber)'
- pwsh: |
    $buildId = 50 + $(Build.BuildNumber)
    Write-Host "##vso[build.updatebuildnumber]$buildId"
- script: echo '$(Build.BuildNumber)'
