CODE:

name: If intention is to rollback
if: ${{ github.event.inputs.intention == ‘rollback’ }}
run: |
echo “artifactname=${{ env.rollbackartifact }}” >> $GITHUB_ENV
echo ${env:artifactname}

I am getting a bad substitution error, please help me. Is there anything wrong with this code?

background:
env.rollbackartifact is I am getting from an input field.

  echo "artifactname=${{ env.rollbackartifact }}" >> $GITHUB_ENV
  echo ${env:artifactname}

There are two problems here:

You try to set an environment variable variable via GITHUB_ENV and use it in the same run step. That doesn’t work, writing to GITHUB_ENV affects following steps within the job.
${env:artifactname} isn’t valid Unix shell syntax. If you want to use the artifactname environment variable, the correct code is ${artifactname}.

Thanks for the solution.
I just removed the second line from Run step and it worked.
