Bamboo Plan Variables not working for me

Question

I am having trouble making use of Plan Variables in Bamboo.

I added a plan variable, name: stuff, value: 1.2.3

In my "Default Job", I have a Script (File) task calling a command line utility, passing in a few parameters, including: ${bamboo.stuff}

Unfortunately, what is being passed is "${bamboo.stuff}", not "1.2.3"

Other built in bamboo properties are being passed in just fine, just not my plan variable.

I've tried: ${stuff}, $stuff, $bamboo.stuff, ${bamboo_stuff}, %STUFF%, %BAMBOO_STUFF%, and others, but I can't get it to respond.

What am I doing wrong?

For Linux style inline script, the ${bamboo.stuff} syntax did NOT work for me, that is when I do the following in my inline script

STUFF=${bamboo.stuff}

I get...

${bamboo.stuff}: bad substitution

Sorry, forgot to mention I'm in Windows.

The Script Task uses File as its location, and as an example of my Argument value:

-root="${bamboo.build.working.directory}" -test=${bamboo.stuff} -revision=${bamboo.repository.revision.number}

What I get passed to me, root and revision are replaced correctly.  But for test ==> ${bamboo.stuff}

Bamboo 5.11.1.1 (but still in trial-mode)

I tried your SET idea, and though it listed out nearly 100 items, "stuff" is nowhere in the list.
