Specify a Different Version for the Extension

The packaging job generates the extension's build artifact from the source files in the Git repository's main branch.

The extension's version is defined in the extension.json file. If you want the build artifact to use this version, leave the packaging job as it is.
To specify a different version for the extension, without explicitly modifying extension.json, follow these steps:
  1. In the VB Studio left navigator, click Build.
  2. In the Jobs tab, click the packaging job for the extension.
  3. Click Configure.
  4. Click Configure (with the hammer).
  5. Specify the new version in the Extension Version field.

    When the build runs, VB Studio overwrites the version defined in the extension.json file with the version specified here.

  6. Click Save.
