Not able to use Synapse Workspace Deployment task for generating Synapse ARM templates
03:46 03 Feb 2026

We have been receiving a warning related to the use of the Synapse Workspace Deployment task within Custom Pools. As part of the recommended mitigation, we attempted to move this task from our build pipeline to the release pipeline. However, during this process, we were unable to use the 'Validate' operation, which is required solely for generating the template JSON files.

Although the documentation indicates that the 'Validate' operation is supported in YAML pipelines, we have been unable to locate this option. We request your guidance in addressing this issue. Kindly refer to the attached screenshots for additional context.
