Using AzureDevOps pipeline's variables in bash Script-CodePudding

My question is quite simple, I'm trying to learn AzureDevOps. I have a pipeline. In this pipeline I have a task with a bash script. This task basically adds files to the archive. This archive format:

  I want it to be MyPackage_09192022_MyDeploymentComment.zip

For this, I created a variable called DeploymentComment in the pipeline. When I start a queque from this pipeline, I fill in the DeploymentComment field. I added this bash script to the task as filepath, so it gives the address of the file on the machine. I also gave the $DeploymentComment variable to the arguments in this task.

My script is as follows

  date="$(date  "%d%m%Y")"
  zipName="MyPackage_"$date"_"$1
  zip -r $zipname /home/admins/myDir/*

I am waiting for the content of the $DeploymentComment variable that I gave as an argument on the Pipeline to come to the part I specified as $1 in the script. In other words, when I start the queque, when I type my1stTry in the $DeploymentComment section, I expect the zip file created when I type my1stTry

     I expect it to be MyPackage_09192022_my1stTry.zip but bash does not see this variable.
     I can create a zip file as MyPackage_09192022_.zip.

What am I missing, can you help me?
