Description
### What would you like to happen?
The syntax for variables in the 'get variables' step and the set variables step is different.
Suppose you have a variable "${next_url}". If you want to get this variable using the 'get variables' step, you need to write "${next_url}" in the column 'variable' whereas when you want to set this variable using the 'set variables' step, you need to write "next_url" in the column 'variable name'. This syntax is somewhat inconsistent and led to some stupid errors/confusion.
I'd prefer to write ${next_url} in both cases. If more people have this complaint, this might be worthwhile looking at.

Research direction
Start by locating the Pipelines implementations for the “get variables” and “set variables” steps and compare how their variable fields are parsed. Done means the same ${next_url} syntax works consistently in both steps, with coverage for the reported behavior.
