Allow the API Management - Set or update an operation policy task to consume operations from a previous task

[orty]

Hi,

I am currently implementing your extension in our DevOps pipeline for an Azure Function behind an APIM service.
Most specifically, I really enjoyed the ability to consume a data contract from a Swagger endpoint, and my process is now to

• Build & Deploy the AzFunction
• Use the API Management - Create or update product task
• Use the API Management - Create or Update API task, with the Product created by previous task option checked, and consuming the Swagger output from the newly deployed Azure Function (to get the latest endpoints signatures)

It does the job up to 95%, but the resulting API operations lose their link to the Azure Function, and it is definitely a breaking change for us if we chose to go with your extension. I am currently working on a proposal for an update though, using the API Management - Create or update an operation policy task. The idea would be to use it to override the policies for all the operations previously created/updated, and thus restoring their link to the Azure Function.

My proposal is to add a setting similar to Product created by previous task but that would be called Operation(s) created by previous task and it would auto-fill the API and Operation inputs.

I am running some tests, I should be able to issue the Pull Request in the next days.

Thanks again for your great work on this extension !
