How to find runID from artifact in azure devops yaml pipeline

I have a yaml pipeline that produces an artifact, and in another pipeline I want to consume this artifact and use it. The specific problem is that I can no longer find the runID from the run that produced the artifact.

Previously

In the second pipeline I used to be able to get the runID from previous pipeline by running:

$(resources.pipeline.<artifactName>.runID)

I was using the shortcut to download the artifact to the entire pipeline like:

resources:
  pipelines:
  - pipeline: <artifactName>
    source: <pipelineName>

Currently (not working)

Now I am using a task that will instead download the artifact to a specific stage (not to the entire pipeline), and I select it through different tags on the pipeline-run. I follow this documentation: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/pipelines/tasks/utility/download-pipeline-artifact?view=azure-devops

Specifically:

- task: DownloadPipelineArtifact@2
          inputs:
            source: 'specific'
            project: '<myProjectName>'
            pipeline: <firstPipelineID>
            artifact: '<artifactName>'
            targetPath: $(Pipeline.Workspace)
            tags: <myTag>

I try to get the runID from the artifact almost like previously:

$(Pipeline.Workspace.<artifactName>.runID)

I can not get the runID. Does anybody know how to do this?

Thank you

Based on your description, you need to get the runID when using the DownloadPipelineArtifact task.

I am afraid that there is no such variable can directly get the runID.

When you use the DownloadPipelineArtifact task to download the artifacts, it will generate a variable: $(DOWNLOADPIPELINEARTIFACT.BUILDNUMBER).

It has the same value as the variable $(resources.pipeline.<artifactName>.runID)

You can change to use the variable: $(DOWNLOADPIPELINEARTIFACT.BUILDNUMBER) to get the RunId.
