Clarify §1.2.1: Are parameters scoped to the template that defines them? #108
Description
Section 1.2.1 discusses merging parameter definitions when the same parameter name appears in multiple templates. However, it doesn't address whether a parameter defined only in an Environment Template is accessible from the Job Template.
The current wording in §1.2 says:
parameterDefinitions — A list of the Job Parameters that are available within the Environment Template.
This suggests parameters are scoped to the template that defines them. A parameter defined only in an Environment Template would only be usable within that environment's scripts/variables, not in the Job Template's steps.
Possible clarification:
Job parameters are scoped to the template that defines them. A parameter defined in an Environment Template can only be referenced within that Environment Template. For a parameter to be accessible in both an Environment Template and a Job Template, it must be defined in both (with compatible types and constraints per the merging rules).
